After discussing the pro's and cons he decided to bite the bullet and make the next batch work slightly differently.

The new valve covers both options - in factory delivered state it works as the old version did i.e. system not pressurised on startup but if you power up with the button pressed it will switch to pressurised mode when powered up in the future.
The xicoy dual valve has been out of stock for some time at dreamworks?? Maybe this is due to the recent change you mentioned??
