Bad air flow. I have a Bellpro one and the ports are rather small for the size.

will it be good in piloting a 1'' coax copper piston with a 1/2'' barrel? or should i go with this qev?

The second QEV you posted is probably way better. Go with that one.
It'll pilot your 1" piston valve, but a 1/2" ball valve may give slightly better results.

Better yet, if you're not set on a coax, you can use a larger version of that valve as a piston. I've had great results with this one:

It doesn't take much of a pilot valve, either. This little guy is plenty if your pilot volume isn't large:
