Need to find a device to listen to several powered monitors

I have a Radiio Shack 4 button speaker control box that I can press in and out to listen to my 2 sets of unpowered monitors......but now I have 3 sets of powered monitors.....I know I can route these from my UCX, but is there a specific device that will enable me to switch between powered monitors with a flick of a switch?
 
Thanks

    +1 to the Mackie Big knob.

    I just bought one a couple of months ago to replace the rack unit I was using and not getting the results I needed....

    The Big Knob really works well....If you look hard enough you can find them new for about $245 or so.....on ebay they go for up to $200 so if you can get one new (which is what I did) for $245 and free shipping.....uummm I know you know the drill...

    If you have to save for it then I really would suggest to do so......

    the Pre Sonus Monitor station is the same thing but since I do not own it I could not vouch for it....

    Just my 2 cents.

    PS after looking at your kit list........I would strongly urge you on to the Big Knob....
