Price difference between Clack and Fleck

[Bananaboyandy]

Is there a big difference in pricing between a Clack WS1 vs the Fleck 7000SXT valve? I've read good things about both. Any difference in performance?

I am waiting to get a few quotes back and wanted to see what others thought was reasonable. From what I've read on the forum, the Fleck valve is cheaper.

The homeowner cannot buy Clack valves or parts directly. They cannot buy systems over the internet. This would make any repairs or replacements in the future more expensive. www.terrylove.com/forums/showthread...-sales-of-their-control-valves-June-15th-2010

Regardless of cost, the Fleck valve is more open to the DIY'r, the Clack valve has been well regulated to prevent the end user from purchasing or servicing them. Both valves perform extremely well, they are both top of the line pieces of equipment.
