Thats what I did, keep it simple and cheap and it works well.
An extra cord will certainly keep it simple. However, it's pretty cheap and easy to simply add an ATS and let it take care of all the needed switching with no manual intervention. Either way will work. One's simply more convenient than the other. Your choice. And there's absolutely nothing at all risky about an ATS as long as you have the skills necessary to install one. :)
