Note that the 'regular valves we always used' are pretty good for the 0.160" ID tubing we get to use, having a significantly larger Cv isn't going to do much.
True, but there was an inexpensive valve (less than $40) that I recall finding a few years ago that we could not use because of Cv either being slightly higher or the spec was unavailable..... now if I could only remember where it was.....

This opens up a larger selection, and simplifies the documentation for teams and inspectors, with minimal change in performance.
