I am trying to decide if it is worth upgrading the quoted equipment from the EasyTouch psl4 to the Intellicenter...below is a response I received from my contractor (who is amazing BTW) but I just want to verify that this is correct and get any opinions on whether it is worth the additional $2,400. I received some great information from someone on this site about the differences between the two but just want more input as to if it is worth the additional cost.
From my contractor...
"The EasyTouch psl4 comes with screen logic and has 4 auxiliaries. That’s really all the features you have or will need to run. Pump, 2 lights, and spa,
With the intelliCenter you would have 5 unused auxiliaries that you really don’t need. but it would allow you to sync with Alexa and maybe do a couple of other cool things.
Your pool just really won’t have enough features that require the intellicenter
Pentair can link into your system with both options to help you fix any issue that might come up
The cost upgrade is actually $2400 because of the equipment as well as additional programming and set up on the front end."
