There may be some confusion. With a high flow solenoid, the regulator becomes a restriction in flow, having a storage tank (@60psi) with as short of a hose as possible right before the solenoid (directly mounted to the cylinder) will absolutely benefit you. I do agree that after the solenoid will not make a large difference.
