I'm glad if I saved you some bucks.
The fourth exhaust port is a necessity (for the cylinders to work) and a
nuisance (being inaccessible). I first learned about it from Erik Brok's site.
In real-life pneumatics, this port would be brought out and could be used to
control other parts of the pneumatic circuit for various types of logic
operations. Kevin would have loved that, I'm sure.
You have to constantly remind yourself that this port exists although you cannot
see it!
