Pros
Good for Press circuits: when a large portion of the cycle is pushing air
Quicker cycle times with a smaller motor/pump/reservoir
Equal force and speed when used with a 2:1 cylinder
Cheaper, smaller, and fewer seals than a double rod cylinder
Cons
More complex plumbing and valving
More logic required when shifting from high speed to high force
Difficult to build exactly a 2:1 cylinder
