Actually with a few air fittings, the valves and some spare air line you could probably locate the valves in a convienent place on the heads.  Mcmastercarr has all you'd need.
What do you mean by this?

That with fittings and air line you could put stop values on each head *in a convenient place* for the flip cylinders to conserve air.

Sorry for the ignorance but I think I know what you mean. The Javelin takes 20+ cfm regardless of how many heads are printing therefore my 14.8 cfm compressor is on the short side, correct? And with fittings and airlines I could isolate the air to where I need it, am I following correctly?

Exactly, since your compressor is short, I was trying to suggest a fairly easy way to save air on the heads you might not use, fittings/valves/air line are cheap.

FYI, the best compressor oil I have found is the synthetic stuff from Northern Tool.  Our compressor runs AWESOME on that stuff.
