Yeah, I just updated my client and now I have a third option in Skype's audio pref's that wasn't there before. Problem solved.

think this might work for changing headset to speakers
SoundSource 1.0.5 just google it.

Logitech 250 USB headset. ...Skype to ring through the main computer speaker (to announce the call). When the call is answered it would make sense for Skype to automatically route the calls audio through the headset

ok you could try using this software, for changing between headset and speakers

Quicken, you can still use an iMic or other USB adapter, I do on my intel MBP. I use it as i had a non usb interface headset already, and i use the mac as a general audio interface on my desk. Else the headset Wicky links looks good.
