Pros & Cons
Pros
The valves are a bit wider than the original orbit valves, so they almost touch the manifold. They are much heavier and quite a bit bulkier. I normally get them at lowes but the price on amazon was a few dollars cheaper on amazon.
Minimum flow is quite a bit lower than before which is excellent for drip irrigation. Operation of the flow control is smooth, easy and reproducible making fine tuning sprinkler coverage a joy. Water flow and sprinkler range is slightly better too.

Price
Easily replaces my four worn out leaking valves for a good price

Shipping
Quick shipping and arrived in great condition
Just poor effort on delivery persons part
I decided to not buy them separately due to the assembly is of about the same price 196 vs 27 and the delivery is faster

Product was fine but delivery would have taken 2 more steps to put it on the porch instead of leaving package out in the rain by the gate
Competitiveness

Work as advertised and seem to be more reliable than a valve made by other brand
Unless you need a sprinkler valve in the next hour you’re better off buying thru amazon
The thread finish is excellent and the surface area in the threaded inlet and outlet is meatier than other brands i’ve seen
