A bit over my head but I think I follow you, and will try to figure that out.
Instead of what I have described above do you know if there is a way to call a duplicate product.tpl from the customer/home_main.tpl

( I think if I duplicated the product.tpl and called it something like
product_b.tpl and placed my button in there I would have 2 product.tpl files one with a button one without.)

I am not sure if this would be any easier to do, it might require doing the same as you have described above just to a different smarty variable.

Thanks again let me know what you think

Best
