Before getting too deep into it, have you play with the "extract region" 
command on the Face Mode context menu?  It duplicates a set of faces or 
polys. Then you can extrude from these new polys and get an object with 
a face that duplicates your original.

  (As you know the Winged-edge paradigm requires that there be no free 
edges.  Therefore this tool puts a sort of latent face across the back 
of the copied faces to seal their edges.  Just something to watch for 
when using it. )
