Based off Product different prices and options per customer group say if you had

3 simple products

1 box - 700g
8 boxes - 700g
12 boxes - 700g

And 2 configurable products

Retail configurable product - All three simple products are associated 
Trade configurable product - Only 8 boxes - 700g is associated

Is it possible to hide the dropdown on the trade configurable product as there is only 1 option? I know you can use extensions such as https://github.com/tzyganu/Switcher to set defaults but I want to hide the dropdown completely as if they can only choose 1 option then its pointless.

I know some of you will say "well just use a simply product with no associated products" however the issue here is that we would need to manage 2 stock levels, 1 for trade and 1 for retail. In reality the stock is all the same and we dont have different levels for different customer groups
