We ended up going with an Easytouch 8, along with the IC60 SWCG. It's great and more than enough automation for our needs. We have a wired control panel in our kitchen which allows us to control all pool functions from the inside. I do like the fact that I can also control the system completely from the pool pad using the Easytouch's control panel. On an Intellitouch, there is no LCD menu to provide info regarding the system run state. In addition, I liked the fact that you can purchase an Easytouch with an included Intellichlor, which simplified the purchase and install. The only major thing missing on the Easytouch vs. Intellitouch that I can garner is the former lack's "macro" control. These macros allow you to program a single button to activate multiple circuits (e.g. push one button to turn on the spa, activate the waterfall pump and turn on pool lights). I really don't need this though because of the remote panel. Also, I've interfaced the unit with an Autelis PoolControl that controls the major functions via the web. So, I can activate these things from my Android phone, which is pretty cool! The Autelis also allows for communications between my home automation system (which handles all of the lighting controls in the house and back yard, except our Intellibrites which are controlled by the Easytouch).
The Intellitouch is also a nice system and is offered for much more elaborate automation. I just didn't see the need as our home already has a dedicated home automation system that can talk to our Easytouch as described.
