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!
