Re:
If I was you I would carefully weigh-up my options with long term comfort and budget in mind and am sure you will realize that upgrading to 16" is the way to go, as you would open-up a whole selection of tyres to choose from, some will be even cheaper and better in quality than any of the 15" tyres you can now find.

Re:
Even if the spare is one size under the ones on car tyres it doesn't really matter.
Think of the outcomes.
1. How often do you get a flat?
2. How long will you leave the spare on if you do get a flat?
The flat would be fixed ASAP.
You could always buy the 'fix a flat' pressurised cannisters and leave it in the tyre well.
Honestly, I wouldn't be making any decissions with the spare in mind.
Talk to your tyre retailer and they should go over rolling diameters between different rim sizes and tyre sizes. They shouldn't sell you oversized tyres as it is illegal for them to do so.

Re:
Good points there Tony reminds me of my "smart" days with no spare tyre and just a bottle of "goo" and a compressor to deal with punctures. The compressor has seen more use since I got rid of the smart and the bottle of goo has passed its use by date.
Even the spare in Phillipa's exy (2008 model) has seen the light of day twice. The first time when I went looking for it and then the other day when I removed it to put the 16in spare in there....
