At this point in my career, learning the rules, positioning and making good judgement calls are much more important than wearing the right kind of pants.

Wrong. You only get a chance to make a first impression one time.
Umpire pants are made for umpires, period. Reinforced seats, stitching, etc., they are made to move in, accomodate shin guards, longer in the stride to accomodate a cup, etc. etc.
Buy umpire pants.
