We buy ours through motion since they are local and have them in stock. We like the 6L series as they have a pretty nice connector on them.

Yep those are what we currently use. I was curious about other options beyond the SY series. I was looking at DIN mounted versions, or cartridge based options. I liked the SJ series, but never tried them. They are small, but they are easy to add to together without screws and accept ribbon cable connections. Certainly I am on the look out for other neat valves.

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