For me, it's not that the valves cannot be closed down 100% as much as the
general reliability at low flow.  I've found the ARO valves to be more
susceptible to thermal changes -- if I adjust it for one bubble per second
initially, I come back and it's one per 2 seconds... stuff like that.

It really starts to come down to issues of price ($50 vs. $10).  For one
tank it was a bit of an investment, but OK with me.  Now that I've got one
cylinder with 4 valves ganged on it, it becomes $200 vs. $40.
