Is there a simple way to toggle between two tracks (A/B comparison of two tracks)?

I would like to be able to toggle between two tracks for the puropse of doing an A/B comparison.  For example, I want to be able to do an A/B comparison of two (differently compressed) vocal tracks with one click of a button, as opposed to soloing one, and then unsoloing it, and soloing the other.  Is there a way to click one button to toggle between the two?
 
I feel like I'm doing it the hard way.

    Easy.

    If you're using 8.5 or earlier, just put one of your tracks into solo, then Quick group the 2 tracks.

    All you do now is click either solo button and the other one will toggle on/off

    I think it's more or less the same in X1 and you just ctrl + select the 2 tracks to quick group them, but you still need just one track in solo before you do.
