My own solution to that dilemma was simple -- a mouse with additional
buttons. That way, I left the three main buttons at their standard
settings and reprogrammed the two extra buttons for other stuff. (I even
added a *second* middle-button, because, well, I find it uncomfortable
to click on the mouse roller, and there is a non-trivial chance of the
roller moving before the click, with the result of me clicking on the
wrong place...)

In your case, since you are already used to middle-click=2 left-clicks,
you could simply move the middle-click functionality to somewhere else.

I find that many programs leverage the middle-click. Closing tabs with
middle-click is becoming fairly standard, for instance -- all major
browsers support it, as well as my preferred text editor, NoteTab. In
Seamonkey, middle-clicking a bookmark folder opens all the bookmarks in
it at once. I became sort of addicted to the extra functionality.
