That switch would allow the elimination of one or two contactors (depending on how some other switching was designed) for setting up a two voltage option. On the other hand, the extra contactor(s) solution lends itself to automated control, which is something I want to consider. Decisions, decisions....
Last note, I think @doug293cz had discussed a 120v option in his control panel. It would let you easily cut back the maximum power of the element without relying on the controller as much.
The most basic approach would be to use a rotary selector switch:

It is almost the same size as a 1/16 DIN opening, so that would be a neat fit, and you could swap between 120 and 240 to your element.
Brew on
