This is a great kit:

Introducing NEW Rear Hydraulic Solution for Subcompact...

Many of you have been asking for a solution like this. 2-4 Rear SCV's connected to the power beyond. Watch the video for more details. I think I covered everything there! Do you need help with install? Here is our offer. For the first person willing to haul their tractor to our...

OK, so if I'm following correctly, one option is:

Add power beyond kit to 2520, then a multi-circuit SCV, which would give me rear SCV circuits that could be used for top link and tilt or could be run to the front for a grapple?

Using tips in this thread to make my own power beyond (probably for under $200 in today's dollars):

2520 DIY Power Beyond Parts List and Basic Instructions

This forum has been extremely helpful to me in many ways while acquiring my 2520 and I thought I would try and give back a little. Before I get started a lot of background info to do this was collected off this forum and most of it came from KennyD in one post or another. I just really wanted...

Or buying Deere's official power beyond kit for the 2520 (BLV10381) for around $500.

Electric Rear Remote Valve Kit for Compact Tractors

This kit adds rear remote connections, allowing you to easily control various hydraulic implements using switchbox controls. Free Shipping!

All in, around $1000 for a power beyond setup with two more SCV circuits.

It seems like that would be a more useful solution than the electrically switched 3rd function situation. Not significantly different in price but gets two circuits instead of one and dedicated so all functions remain live without switching.

Or am I horribly misunderstanding the situation?

I thought the power beyond stuff was close to a grand by itself, not including the SCV circuits, which is why I dismissed it initially.

There is another version of the same kit which provides a joystick control as well as the hoses and couplers to run all the way to the front loader.

Overall, looks like your understanding is correct.
