150 hydraulic standpipe question.

I need to replace the twin stick control valve on a 150 with an aftermarket selector valve. I've read somewhere that the standpipe length for the twin stick valve might be longer than the one for the original cover plate. Does anyone know if that's fact or fiction?
 
We are adding a multispool valve, and the only supply option at present is through the twin stick. It of course has to be locked in for the second valve to function, and as usual has detent problems. Plus, it's two levers to deal with when switching from three point to external. Just seems like the simplest solution to the problem.
I wasn't sure about the standpipe length, just seem to remember reading somewhere about someone installing a twin stick and the standpipe needing to be longer than the standard unit.
 
They are the same, the diverter valve is a lot better IMO. The multi-spool under the seat is the worst idea I've ever seen. My brothers 150 has diverter valve with the spool valve mounted on the right fender to keep all the hoses short as possible.
 
There are different lengths of standpipe, but it shouldn't affect the job you are doing as long as you are using the original standpipe........

I got the valves mounted and plumbed yesterday, but then ran into trouble when trying to make the dreaded twin stick work. I could
see this coming, but it's not my tractor and not my money so I kind of had to try the existing stuff first.
