Pressure optimization

We have a 2" x 24" cylinder and a 2" x 12" cylinder which are connected end-to-end. We are using 4 tanks and our compressor. I have looked at some calculations about pressure about how 60spi will create a 95 pound force in a two inch bore. I don't need all of this force and just need about 40 pounds, without sacrificing speed. Is the Festo solenoid more effective than the smc one? Also what would be the ideal pressure?
