Is the Pentair EasyTouch a good controller?

[waterbear]

I know nothing of the Pentair unit but I have heard some negative feedback on the Jandy SWG last year. I don't know if Jandy has ironed out the bugs or not yet. I have a Goldline Aqualogic PS-8 myself and am more than happy with the unit. I have also been told by 2 different pool contractors that the Goldline valve acutators are more dependable than either the Jandy or Compool (Pentair) ones. (Conversations took place where I work and had nothing to do with my pool so I tend to believe them!) Since the actuators are interchangable as long as the voltages are the same (I believe Goldline only makes 24v ones) you can always change them out if you have problems with them and they are 24v.
