They look pretty nice from the ones I have seen, but for the money, and for
future expansion, I would invest in H-Valves instead, or go but the whole
package. Just looking at price wise off the top of my head (and not
recommending any brand/dealer), the Y valves are $125 each from Leisure Pro.
Divers Supply sells their manifold system in an 'On Sale' pack for $199 (that
is a right and left main valve, plugs, center isolation bar and 1-H valve
part). Tack on another $70 and you can get another (left or right) H-valve. In
my catalog a manifold isolation valve is $170, and then the H-valves are $70
each. So, you could spend $250 on 2-Y valves, or spend an extra $60 for a
complete manifold system with the H-valve attachments. Now of course if you go
with Halcyon, Scubapro or Diverite valves, you price may vary. This is what I
did, but I got mine used. That way, if you ever go to doubles or want to, you
can just grab the right size bands and you will be good to go. Otherwise, you w!
ill have to go out and buy another manifold/valve set. I'd spend the little
extra just for being able to expand in the future, even if you don't think you
will go that route (full cave) now. 

Of course, you could be well past the full cave level, and just asking about
the valves... at least someone might benefit from the above info. From the ones
I have seen, they look nice and I would say from center din to center din, they
are about 4"-4.5" apart..
