comma before 'but' [conjunction]: a similiar, but cheaper, solution

[cicciosa]

Hi everybody,
just a simple question...
To my eyes it looks better to write

A similiar but cheaper solution....

instead of using commas

A similiar, but cheaper, solution....

Do you agree with me?

Thanks,
cicciosa

I agree. No commas are necessary.

I should warn you that the word should be spelled "similar," not "similiar."

Some reference sources suggest that commas that might be called for by the sentence structure can be omitted in short sentences if there is no risk of confusion.

I certainly would be tempted to use commas in "A similar, but fortunately far less expensive, solution..."
