Subject: rear hatch struts

So, awhile back we had this discussion about rear hatch struts... at the
risk or re-opening this thread, can someone enlighten me on the best
replacement for the worn out oem struts.  I have had the heavy duty ones...
it has been mentioned, and rightfully so that they are extremely stiff...
but I rather liked them on my 88 wolfie.  Those suckers would keep that door
exactly where I left it every time.  But I remember someone mentioning
putting one heavy duty and one oem strut on the hatch.  Hence, mitigating
the difficulty of opening and closing the hatch.  From looking at the BD
parts list it appears that they are sold singly, making the one-of-each idea
feasible. True?
So, is this a good idea... bad idea?

TIA.
