Yes
Placing the combo is an excelent idea. But what u can also try is using 
third paryt control like True DB Grid.
This is a third party control providd by Apex.
This gird has got excellent features. and will fit into ur requirements.
Also if required i shall send u the code to add a combo in the grid.
