Does anyone know of a 5 button mouse with scroll wheel that is styled similar to apple's pro mouse?

The most similar mouse I could find was macally's micromouse, but it only has 3 buttons and scroll wheel. ):

The Kensington Optical Elite is a 5-button mouse that goes pretty well with the quicksilver G4's. It's not clear like Apple's Pro Mouse, but it's silver and grey with a nice glowing blue light under the scroll wheel.
Circuit City had them advertised for 19.99 (29.99 - 10 MIR) this weekend.

I've got a Kensington Pro Elite and I really like it. Works great with OS X right out of the box and even better when you download the OS X beta of Kensington's Mouseworks software. Very accurate, it looks good (yea, the glowing blue light is a little much, but kinda cool I guess) and fits my head very well. Plus its got an ambidexterous design, unlike the more expensive MS Intellimouse. This is important if you have a lot of people sharing a computer.
