Suggestions for automating manual LGB points

Hi everyone. My 'near ground-level' garden layout has nine manual LGB R1points contained within a 3 x 10 m area. Any suggestions for automating these so they can be operated from one corner of the area?
I'm aware of two options: electric and pneumatic but have experience of neither. What would be the pros & cons of these?
 
In another thread you've mentioned running live steam and if this and/or battery are the only means you have in mind, then the LGB EPL system seems a good idea, well-tried and proven, easily available, not necessarily too pricey, plenty of advice available on this forum and requiring two wires per point motor. An LGB control box will handle four points, or you can make up your own controls with easily available parts.

Thread 'SVR air powered points'

As a result of musings on another thread (thank you Martino) I have come to the conclusion that air power is the way to go and with the Suset Valley Railroad (SVR) system . The LGB electric motors and Train Engineer momentary actuators were ripped out 3 years ago and I went all manual on my mix of LGB R5's and GRS 6', with a Piko (R5/R3 lgb equiv') curved point interloper. 12 switches in total, all code 332.
The proposed air powered set-up will have 2 sets of 2 switches and one of 4 switches operating grouped to "set a road". The remaining 4 operating independently.
