regulator on cylinder output?

I just need a sanity check - pretty sure this will work OK.

If we want a large force to extend an actuator, but don't need one to retract it, could we plumb 60 psi to the solenoid, 60 psi from the solenoid A port to the back of the cylinder, and then plumb 60 psi from the solenoid B port to the secondary regulator, drop down to 10-20 psi and then to the front of the cylinder? It allows us to use less air per stroke (out-in), and since the solenoid still sees 60 psi we don't have the pilot pressure limit on the downstream side of the regulator.
