I had to rewire mine because I just assumed the signal would go the direction the switch pointed. I like the switch moving horizontally so so it points to the amp I want to use.
Another nice thing about using this switch is you can avoid any amp power up noise by selecting the amp last.

Inspired by this thread (because I was also having the problem of having one pair of speakers and two amps) I decided to make an amp-switch-box.
The switch is a sturdy looking switch from ALCO with an off position:

Used 12 long binding posts and a generic aluminum casing.
The back looks a bit crowded and its a tight fit for the binding posts.
Its working really well.
It did take up a lot of solder though
The final thing left to be done is to make some sort of identification on the switch.
Here are some pics:

Thanks Boris,
I used a casing from Conrad:

It wasn't too expensive and the size was perfect.
At first I wanted to make a nice wooden casing but decided to go for this one.
After looking at the pics I should have used shrink sleeves (not sure abaut the technical term) on the switch and binding posts to hide the solder
