Then what Jim suggested would use the one button you don't even use. I would 
use every single one of those new macro slots and more.

Here is my vote *against* having many macro buttons.
There is a problem with remembering which buttons play which macros.
A limited number is fine with me, but there is a break-even point when 
you cannot keep track of them in your head and a 'cheat sheet' is 
needed.  I just don't want to get to the point where that cheat sheet is 
needed.
In general, I prefer to tap out the functions needed on the regular 
buttons because I can remember what those do.  I have only a few 
occasions when it is helpful to activate a sequence of buttons 
automatically.
The only macro that I use is to go split and up 2. I can remember that 
one easily.
