As Denny recently pointed out in a similar post (Click here), this probably isn't possible because the state sync'ing has changed between the versions.

 

 

I wonder if you used hardwire failover and didn't try to sync the config, whether the second unit would stay in standby. As (I think) the failover is based on a voltage on the wire, it might work.
