Default Twin Elevator issue - pull pull

Need help on my twin elevator setup. I do have individual servos (on each side of the fuse-rear). I have tried my best to level the throws and while I had them wise on the scale, proved otherwise during flying as I experienced severe differential during sharp elevator movements like squares. So my flying is limited to level, large loops and rolls, but then it’s a Kyosho Giles with a 90 4S and I would love to wring her.
I am planning to move the rudder servo to the rear and use a single high torque for the elevators with pull-pull setup. Not keen on the push rod setup because I need to keep the tail as light as possible (no way can pay for CF rods besides can’t get those in INDIA). I have used pull-pull setup for rudders and found them good, but this is going to be my first for elev. My worry is that, if I have the cables from both elev-halves joined together at each servo arm end (for each direction of throw), would I still land up with some differential? Let’s say I take care of equaling the lengths of the horns so that no errors can take place there.
Also, is it all right to bind cables (crimp) together and join them with threaded links at servo-arm ends?
Appreciate any inputs on this, pictures and links.
Thanks.
