These are similar in how they work to sprinkler valves (they are diaphram valves too). They are more expensive and harder to find, but also preform better. They don't come with a solenoid valve like the sprinklers do, so you'll have to furnish your own pilot valve.
Since they are designed to quickly exhaust pnematic cylinders, they are designed to be filled from behind the diaphragm and typically work well using a 3-way valve as the fill/pilot valve.
