A word of caution on the spreaders. I built my current one with a wide spreader, maybe 3 inches, thinking it would open up the wood and not have to complete the cycle. It sometimes jams the block on real knotted or twisted blocks, they start to split but when I hit the spreader I run out of power and wedge the block there. Have to hammer it back. But I only have a single stage pump, with the extra power from the two stage you'd probably be fine.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
