I'm with you on it feeling ugly - I barely ever use try and catch. I do however feel that it is the most effective solution to this problem - the best checker of duplication being the one created by the db server that happens at the very moment of the insert. I don't have a problem with semantics here, it reads well to me though I would certainly comment the code.
