When I got my 2 spool valve I debated on a float position for the second one. I pull an offset disc with wheels and hydraulic cylinder lift. The float position would probably work ok there when running it all the way down. Think you are wise to get a 2 spool valve when doing it as it is easier than to add on later. I do not use the down pressure on my 3 point much. Have used it with cultivator and disc in harder ground but just tends to take the weight off the rear wheels. On my 3 point I can pull the 2 pins, drop the 3 point and replace the pins so that the cylinder lifts against them. It lifts higher that way. Most implements are made to pull themselves into the ground if conditions are right. sometimes down pressure can cause breakage or bending. There are tmes wehn down pressure on a rear blade may help but if you take the weight off your rear wheels you can't pull it anyway. One thing it does help with is keeping an implement at a set height as it won't move up or down.
