Love the names Landon and Sadie; my own personal opinion is Sadie with your last name is a little too rhyme-y, but that doesn't mean my preferences are "right" for your family. Maybe a double name would help--like adding Ann or Beth or another one syllable name? (My own FN is Amy and my MN is Elizabeth, so I'm called Amy Beth by most people and have always loved that no one else I know has the same name as I.)
We've run into a similar challenge as our LN ends in -er and a couple of the first names we like also end in -er. With the MN thrown in, the names sound great, but once only the F and LNs are used, it sounds flat and repetitive--especially in Upstate NY where our dialect has a pretty nasal sounding -er to begin with! :)
I do not think that Sadie with your last name is too rhyme-y. Your last name seems long enough (syllable-wise) to get enough inbetween the "-ie" and the "-hee" that most of the time people won't notice. I think Sadie is an awesome name. It's cute yet "grows up" (I know a 22 y/o Sadie and it's not at all childish on her), and modern w/o being trendy. I think it has a smart, spunky feel too. HTH!

I think Landon's fine with your ln.
