    But. .. Thinking it a little over the effective piston area should be doubled because fluid don't compress or stretch, so there will be equal force pulling and pushing at the same time? That should effectively double force capacity at given pressure? That means that to maintain the needed force the pressure can be reduced to 1015psi for the same result, and there will be a lot of headroom for spikes?
    I see no problems, there are only solutions..

    Yeah, your probably right there. Its to late to think right now. I'm not used to driving a cylinder with another cylinder. With a pump the travel speeds will be different depending on the piston area.
    I know for all intensive purposes fluids are incompressible, but not sure about the stretching part. Once the pressure reduces below the saturated vapor pressure the fluid will form bubbles...cavitation.
