The fact that you have the top cross arm on the setup eliminates the potential for problems with pressure. Pressure in the left cylinder will have only 6" more straight hose to act through. If this system was operating in hundreds of cycles per minute (not likley) there might be a incredibly small difference. One Law of hydraulics is equal pressure in all directions in a closed system.
I built my M threepoint (sold the unit in Montana seven years ago, pics burried, if I find em I'll post)with a single DA lift cyl 4.25" on the left side, a stout top lift cross arm, and a DA cylinder from the power steering on a simi for the right lift link. This allows power tilt. Mine bolts to four of the axle housing bolts in an arc on each side, to allow full axle access. I used simi steering tirod ends for pivot points. On request I'll hunt up the Autocad files.
