But get programmable ones, that way you don't have to set them everyday.

Installing two Tst. in percale Will not solved you problem
But it can help you can change your supply air some how
It depend on setup of your ducting system
And internal configuration of your house.
So for the summer try to close your supply air down stairs
And just use one up stairs these will force your cold air
To go up there where you needed must in summer,
You need not worry about return it will find the way back.

Oh my GAWD! You should be tied up and hung by your nuts for what you
just said.
"Close all the downstairs supply air". That will effectively cut your
duct work in half yet you are still sending the same amount of CFM
through it. What do you think happens next?
"Dont worry about the return" ???
Ok, now you're just being retarded.
Sounds like true words of a hack there Tony.
