What is the most convenient way to create palette buttons with tooltips that use the OS-wide tooltip delay?

Currently I am using 

CreatePalette@
 Tooltip[Button["Button", Appearance -> "Palette"], "Tooltip", 
  TooltipDelay -> Automatic]

But this seems like a lot of work (both TooltipDelay -> Automatic and Appearance -> "Palette" needed) just to get the behvaiour which could be expected as a default from a palette.

When I have several buttons, what's the simplest and most concise way to do this?
