[jQuery] jQuery toggle question


For once, I have a script fully working... I have four tabs that pull down
when clicked. If a tab is open, and you click another tab, the opened tab
closes first, then the selected tab opens.
Here is a working example (Open Tab1, then click Tab2 and note how it closes
quickly, i want Tab1 to slide closed, then Tab2 slide open):

The problem is that the open tab closes abruptly when changing tabs. Is
there anyway to smooth it out? Here is my code, with highlights.
===============================================
Source Code
===============================================
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".btn-slide1").click(function(){
        // first close any other open panels
        $("#panel2").hide();
        $("#panel3").hide();
        $("#panel4").hide();
        
        // then open the selected panel
        $("#panel1").slideToggle("slow");
        $(this).toggleClass("active"); return false;
    });
    
    $(".btn-slide2").click(function(){
        // first close any other open panels
        $("#panel1").hide();
        $("#panel3").hide();
        $("#panel4").hide();
        
        // then open the selected panel
        $("#panel1").hide();
        $("#panel2").slideToggle("slow");
        $(this).toggleClass("active"); return false;
    });    
    
    $(".btn-slide3").click(function(){
        // first close any other open panels
        $("#panel1").hide();
        $("#panel2").hide();
        $("#panel4").hide();
        
        // then open the selected panel
        $("#panel3").slideToggle("slow");
        $(this).toggleClass("active"); return false;
    });    
    
    $(".btn-slide4").click(function(){
        // first close any other open panels
        $("#panel1").hide();
        $("#panel2").hide();
        $("#panel3").hide();
        
        // then open the selected panel
        $("#panel4").slideToggle("slow");
        $(this).toggleClass("active"); return false;
    });    
    
});
