FWIW, dimmable CFLs are dynamite. The examples I have work very well and were less that $2 per bulb. I have 12 installed and 12 more ready to go in.

Rick, where did you find dimmable CFL's for $2? I need lots.
I recently remodeled the house and put electronic dimmers everywhere. I am swiching to all CFL's and cannot find cheap dimmables. The standard CFL's either will not turn on with electronic switches or when they do light, they buzz and will not dim.
At first I hated the slow start of the CFL's when you hit the switch, now I expect it and like it - easier on the eyes when you wake up in the middle of the night to take care of the kids.
