That is a devil of a passage at full tempo. I am getting ready to play this too. This may not work for you, but I left out the bottom note in the right hand, just made it easier for the three fingerd chords in both hands.

This is interesting. First of all, when I have to play 2nd, I request that the 1st and I figure out where we play unison and mark on our music when we will pull the harps back and put down together.
