Just out of curiosity, what does this one actuator do? What size and stroke.
The reason I ask is, there is a rule of thumb for using pneumatics. Use them if you can do two or more functions with them. ie. A shifter and a lever etc. Sometimes the weight added isn't worth it if only one function is added.
As with all "rule of thumbs", there are exceptions, such as, it is the best way to do what we need.
If you can leave the compressor off-board, you have fairly well handled the weight issue.
