Since I am responding to you, out of curiosity, what's the largest manifold you have gone with?
Interesting Mark,

If you guys get those cool options let me know. We are always looking to improve our current system. But we also try to stick with what works and just buy a lot of XYZ. We have about 20-30 SY solenoids so its nice being able to pull some off or have spares.

We've used up to an 8 port I believe. We buy the blanking kits to just mask off what we aren't using at the time.
