The dormers are 2.5 stories up.
That far up no one is going to notice the siding on the dormers -
That far up you don't want to paint -
The siding on the dormers will not match - even close.
Side the dormers with whatever siding you choose -
(Don't want to paint/stain - then: vinyl)
Just find something you like (vinyl).
Yes, we've done the same thing -
cedar siding (deteriorated), with the rest of the house in Cedar, brick,
aluminum, cement board, etc...)
It would have been nice to put up new Cedar; except, for money
constraints.
So, it was vinyl.
It looks alright.

Also, before you side it (with whatever you're going to side it with - check the "flashing" on the
dormers).
