I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I would stick with the air system. It is simpler and seems to do the job.
Just because you "can" do something doesn't mean you "should" do it. I think the servo system would take much longer to implement, be more complex for the end customer to maintain and require a higher level of knowledge of any engineer required to make changes to it in the future.
If you must go the servo route, I'd reccomend finding someone local to really go over all the physics and controls with you. As others have mentioned, it is not as smplle as replacing one manufacturer's cylinder for another or even replacing a servo motor with a different servo motor.
You're basically trying to engineer a new system. This is not a replacement issue.
