Default Any sources for new trunk gas struts?

My 20V has the factory rear fin and the extra weight makes the tired struts that much worse to deal with. With other struts, I've been able to find aftermarket sources for 1/3 the dealer prices or I've gone in to NAPA and guessed ably at strength, stroke, etc. Anybody solved this conundrum specifically for the heavier 20V trunk lid? I'm in and out of mine a lot more than most, so it's become a real pain.
