Default Which upgraded hatch strut for Amuse Wing?

So the Amuse wing is noticeably heavier than the stock sports wing - bicep dyno says about 10-15lb more. Seems like Z1 is the only company making upgraded struts for the 370. Has anyone had experience with them? I'm having trouble deciding between their LHP and MHP models. As is right now with the OEM struts, the hatch goes up very slow up until about halfway and then needs noticeable amount of assistance getting up all the way, but has no trouble staying up (that's what she said). I'm looking for an OEM-like open and close experience if possible. Z1's description is vague in terms of what is supposed to be a "heavier" spoiler.

Also, $12 is a bit high for shipping struts. I notice that their shipping rates are quite high for everything, even the smallest/lightest of products. Anyone have promo codes?

Description is as follows:
"The Level 1 High Pressure (LHP) units are great for almost every application, they are a little stronger than the originals and will support most aftermarket spoilers or just be strong for a standard application. The upgrade to the Mega High Pressure (MHP) units offer mamimum added lift support for the Largest heavier aftermarket spoilers, or just a workout for those looking for it.

*Please note; These hatch struts are stronger and intended as an upgrade to the stock units, not just a standard replacement. Upgraded LHP hatch struts will require a little more effort to close the hatch if a heavier spoiler is not in place, while MHP units will require a notable amount of effort to close the hatch if a heavier spoiler is not in place."
