Adding fork positioner to Unicarrier sideshift attachment

Hey guys, I have a 2017 Unicarriers 4k forklift.

It came installed with a Bolzoni HN series sideshifter. I'd like to add a fork positioner to the unit. The truck has room to stack one more valve but then I started thinking about routing hoses on the 3 stage mast.

I stated looking at the Bolzoni MZ series forkpositioner w/ sideshift. In the fine print, it mentions requiring two hydraulic circuits.

What do you all feel is the best route, sequence valve, add a valve or another option? Thanks!

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
