Pete:

You can go out to www.MusiciansFriend.com and check out the prices.  The 
FC7 goes for about $37.00 USD and the FC9 is about $69.00 USD.

I think the FC7 is pretty sturdy myself, but the FC9 is definatley more so.

With the FC9, you can have a typical volume control for two channels at 
a time.  So, a stereo instrument, two mono instruments or one mono 
instrument and a CC controller all at once.

Another option is the FC7 or FC9 and say a MFC1 MIDI stomp box.  They 
can be had on E-Bay for less than $50.00 and then you have something 
like 8-discrete patch selections, or up to 128 or so in a chain and can 
plug the FC7/FC9 and an FC5 switch into it and it will work with any 
MIDI compatible device.
