Depends on static friction, hose distance from each cylinder to valve, mechanical differences.

There are times when it pays to save the money on the second valve, and times when it pays to have the second valve. Depends on quickness, and control needed.
If the hoses are cut to the same exact lengths, the two cylinders' motion should be in sync.
