I do have 2 MP40's that I might use on the ends. I have a DC10000 on my 165 right now and very impressed at the flow rate & I have it running 2 - 1" return line just like it would be on the 4way ( 2 lines at a time )

Try to plumb 2 of these in one small area, keep all your return lines relitively the same length & as short as possible to minimize head loss, not to mention as need ad possible as well.
