The difference between the 4 & 8 is 4 more relays, nothing more.  If you certainly need an Easytouch 8 at minimum as long as those valves are intake, return, and two custom valves.  If you need more than two custom valves, you must get an Intellitouch.

Do you wish to turn on multiple things with one button press?  If so, that requires a macro (intellitouch only).

An i9 would be what you need if you choose Intellitouch.  I can't help with prices though.

thanks for the info. my primary question is: in what functions does the intellitouch i9 is better than the easytouch 8.

Intellitouch features that Easytouch doesn't have:

Expandable to 40 relays

Two extra feature circuits

Expandable to control three extra valves per board

Can control 8 Intelliflo's vs. two

99 program max vs. 12

Larger remote screens

Controls more spa side remotes

Home automation control support via i-link adapter

Macro support (activate multiple circuits via one button press)

Hopefully I didn't miss anything.

The valves are what concerns me.  Easytouch will control intake and return valves for pool/spa switching, these cannot be assigned to anything else.  It has two assignable valves left, but solar will consume one of those.

You're right Tony, Easytouch can do color swim now.  I'll edit my post.  Thanks for checking me.
