Well I have seen 1/4 " sprinkler valves around here, but I think they would be expensive. What is wrong with a ball valve?

Why not just get an inline QEV? If they exist that is...

I have seen QEV's and they are the most powerful valve you can have before you have to make a piston valve. They litterally open instantly and can have a trigger like a gun. Go wo www.mcmaster.com and type in qev and look under pnumatic section and you will see what i mean. they cost just as much as ball valve (for 1/2 inch anyway) and are litteraly 200% better and more powerful.

So me posting a lot is a bad thing? Or is that a joke? Sarcasm perhaps? Hopefully?
