Default Blue spring for clutch?

I am in the middle of another 1200 clutch job (not the same tractor as I have previously posted about) and am wanting another blue spring.
I forget where I got the last one. Zach Kerber seems the only current source, have everything else Im gonna need.... not wanting to cost me $10 for a $29 part to ship....
somewhere else, I tripped across a "die spring" at MSC supply that (wherever I found it) says that it is the same thing, MSC only wants $19/ea for them. Yeah its blue, yeah it has the same free length, but the specs they show, seem lower than what is shown for the spring shown as the "blue Cub Cadet clutch spring".
Anyone source theirs there? the last thing I want is to have something with less force than the 40 year old original spring currently has....
I could care less what color the spring I get happens to be, but I want one with similar pressure to what the blue spring that is sold for this purpose claims to have... I put one in the last CC gear drive clutch I did, and so far so good.... similar pedal feel to the original one, and no issues so far.... (and lots of hours on that job)
