Which Filtermag part number fits the FL-1a/FL-1HP?

Edit: So it seems that either one of these should fit:

300lbs pulling power: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FTM-SS375/ ($46)
600lbs pulling power: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FTM-RA365/ ($69)

So if you did it, does the extra 300lbs really make a difference on the heavy duty version or is the standard 300lbs version more than enough? For me it's less the extra $23 than it is the red color of the heavy duty version vs the black version of the standard version. I'm not a big fan of anything red or colored in my engine compartment.
