Use your enlarging lens for macro work. The focal length for lenses appropriate for portraits will be too long for macro work, so forget using one lens for both. 150mm isn't unreasonable for a portrait lens on 4x5. But different photographers have different expectations from portrait lenses, and until you can explain to yourself why your lens isn't working for you and what would be better, you'll just be buying lenses at random.

The Macro Sironar is optimized for focusing at macro distances. You might want to read http://www.largeformatphotography.info/macro.html for some basics.
