"Dumb" X10 devices?

I'm looking to add a multi-button wall switch like the following:

My problem...and it's not really a problem, exactly...is that this switch seems like radical overkill when I have an X10 setup that's driven by my Mac. I don't really need any of the memory functionality, etc., that's built into the switch, just the ability to push a button and have it inform my Mac that the button has been pressed.

Is there a cheaper alternative to this switch that leaves out the functionality I won't need when I'm using Indigo?

Thanks very much.

I have the 8 button version of that and it very nice. Unfortunately I don't know of a cheaper model that does the two way communications but doesn't have the other features.

How about something like:

I use several of them for that purpose.
