   I'm looking at a Lutron in my house right now.  Decora-style, the paddle is on/off, with a tiny slider to the side for the dimming function.  Lighted with a neon bulb.  I think these dimmers look the best, as they don't look like, well, dimmers.

   Note only the on/off function is "3-way-able"; i.e., the other switch is just an on/off, not a dimmer.  If you want a dimmer from both switches, you need something elaborate like X-10, or Grafik Eye.

   What it sounds like you have is the Lutron Diva series.

   And you are right you only have dimming control from one location, but can be used with other 3way/4way switches.

   Lutron also has the Mastero series which allows dimming from up to 10 locations, but you have to use compatable units at all locations.

   Lutron also has the Mastero series

   And they are very slick once installed, just pricey.  A good product.
