Maya: how to snap an object in the midpoint of multiple components?

The title may sound confusing so here is an image. I select some components, Maya changes pivot to the midpoint of these components and now I want to snap some other object there. I found a solution, but it's annoying to work with:

1. Duplicate the object.
2. Select components.
3. Merge to center.
4. Create -> Locator.
5. Snap locator to the merged vert.
6. Snap desired object to the locator...
7. Delete the temporary duplicate.

That's a lot of steps for such a simple operation. In Blender I'd just snap 3D cursor there and then snap object to the cursor.
