If I had seen that chart first I wouldn't have asked such a question.
I thought I had found a way of reducing the cost. Bummer. When you can
purchase a push button X10 SPST for less than $10, $30-$45 for a toggle
seems greedy. Guess I will wait a bit for prices to come down or a sale.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
