There's really little need to buy new designs for every blog and I wouldn't spend big bucks on one either. Slap a logo, change the colors around, viola.
If you buy a theme, I'd advise you to buy a mainstream one. It just seems they're much cleaner and are more up to date when it comes to what you can do with wordpress from the technical side (widgets, ajax, etc).
