I researched this a while back as well and found countless writeups- some OEM quality, some not so much.
What I came away with was to do it correctly and cleanly, it would be the same if maybe nominally cheaper to do it yourself. I thought I could get a couple switches, make a pod, run the wiring and blah blah blah, but to get it clean (as clean as an sPOD) will end up costing the same.
That said, I'm planning on getting the simple 6 switch sPOD for Christmas (the mobile phone and other gadget oriented silliness make no sense to me) and call it even.
