Thoughts on mixing bluestone with pavers for patio

I bought a house that has a bluestone walkway around the side of the house leading to a small patio area that's also bluestone. I want to extend the patio, but the quotes to do it in bluestone are nearly double that of using pavers. One contractor suggested doing a border in bluestone and then using bluestone colored pavers for the middle of the patio, but I can't seem to find an example anywhere of that being done.

Any thoughts?
