M. Mellot,

The pneumatics rules these past two years have relaxed quite a bit (as opposed to other sections of the manual )
The basic requirements for pistons include,
being rated for >125psi and
"Cylinders may be of any configuration, and may be of any size up to a maximum of 24-inch stroke and 2-inch diameter."

So we're taking advantage of that rule to use a easier to integrate form factor, after all who doesn't like pancakes.
254 and us legally used 3 position versions of the same cylinders this year, 1625 is in the clear here.
