Q: How to connect 2 LED cinema displays to MBP?

Currently running a 2012 13" MBP. Found a great deal on 2x24" cinema displays. Now trying to figure out how to get them working together.

I'm not sure about miniDisplay tech, but curious if it can function similar to HDMI. The reason being, there are many (affordable) miniDisplay to 2 HDMI splitters, such as this one

The only thing I've found for miniDisplay to 2 miniDisplay is over $100 (for a monoprice product).

Do you think using a minidisplay to hdmi adaptor on both monitors, attaching those to an hdmi splitter and hooking that up to the MPB would split the signal properly? Can't explain it well, maybe this diagram will help
