Yep, mines much cheaper, reassembly of the switch is kind of tricky but not to bad, but given the cost savings it was well worth it. If it's not something you're willing to tackle then new switches such as you reference might be a better alternative, It just depends on your skill level for this type of thing.

One other thing I forgot to mention (sorry I didn't take any pictures) is on the backside of the panel that the switches mount to is a galvanized metal tab that's used to secure the wires. On mine I noticed that this tab was starting to wear through the insulation of the wires, so I rapped the wires with electrical tape the put some heat shrink tubing over the tab to protect the wiring better. I could see where down the road this could have caused some weird electrical problems.
