Nexus 8 Pushbutton Shifter

Nexus 8 Pushbutton Shifter

Anybody used this? It says you can only go up or down one speed per tap, and I like to fling the grip-shifter from 8 down to 1 at stops, so I don't know how annoying it will be to have to hit a button 7 times for the same effect (and I'm not sure it will help with my cycling-induced tendonitis, either, which is what I'm trying to remedy by getting a new shifter). Anybody have one? Is it worth 45 bucks to try it out? Should I wait to try out the Alfine shifter?
Also: Isn't there any way I could use bar-end shifters with this hub?! Criminy!

Thanks!
