Indeed.  I've searched for the ideal buffer switching mechanism for a
few years now, and several good alternatives have been tested.  So far,
I'm most happy with swbuff-x, an extension to the swbuff library.  They
can both be downloaded from the EmacsWiki at:

swbuff-x might not be the quickest to master, but has a number of
configuration possibilities, and exactly the functionality that you
mention.

It's also worth checking this page out:
