Microshift makes inexpensive Shimano-compatible shifters as well.
The 'Marvo' is their 9-sp flatbar shifter. Can be had with or without the indicator windows. The LT and XE versions seem to have the shift paddles tucked in a little better than the Deore.
And, no, you won't ever get Fietsbob to stop reccomending IGH. I'm not sure if he even owns a derailleur bike.
