Need Insteon control for 600 watt floodlight

I have a bank of six 100 watt outdoor floods that I need to control via a single Insteon switch. I do not require dimming, just a simple on/off. I am aware that the max. wattage for Insteon switches and relays is 480 watts and I wish to do this as simple as possible. The solution that I came up with is to use a Insteon ToggleLinc relay to power up the coil of a 110 volt SPST relay, then use the relay contacts to control the floods. Is there an easier alternative that any member might care to share before I proceed?

I know you said you didn't need dimming, but as long as having a dimmer isn't a problem, it would be far simpler and cleaner to just use the standard 1000w insteon dimmer.
 
Maybe overkill but the new Dual Band KeypadLinc Relay has a 20 amp 1800 Watt rating.

Also I have read it is quite large and the wires are fairly heavy.
