Todd,

You’re probably correct on the costs, but are you sure these are strictly on/off devices?  Looking at the url doc Paul referenced, it appears these are infinitely variable valves.  If this is the case, it would be more desirable (to me) and worth a few extra ounces (and $).

An electrically operated solenoid valve is reasonably inexpensive and not too heavy, but is strictly an on/off valve. An electrically actuated control valve is very $$$$, bulky and heavy. Unless if you know of a source for one that is none of these. I think this is a case where we are about to try to over-engineer a simple device. Better to leave this one to ACRE.

Todd,

What about the electrically operated valves (see list from Paul).  It looks like it would be easier to install in that you don’t have any control cable running through the firewall.  And you won’t have the cable sticking out into the cabin, just a switch.
