I think the plastic push-pull valve issue is somewhat overblown. Most houses in The Villages have about 10 of these valves. Yes, they are cheap, flimsy valves, but I have not heard of many serious water leaks caused by the valves. You can spend hundreds of dollars replacing them, but I don't think many people are concerned enough to do that. And, any valve you install could also cause a water leak.
