Good solution. There are a number of MIDI control surfaces that have ways to do this, but that one is nicely compact and simple. Another possibility is the M-Audio UC-33e though it's gotten hard to find and is probably more complicated... but what's nice about that one is that it also has 9 faders on it that can be used as drawbars. And, if I remember correctly, you could use its keypad either the way you describe (to call up the number of the patch you want), or you can also use those buttons to call up your favorite patches with a single keypress.
Other possibilities:
--- foot controllers, see post8780.html#p8780
... ipad, see post10475.html
... if you're using your Electro along with another keyboard, you can often use MIDI to send patch change commands from your other keyboard
