Default "Brute Power" Slave Cylinder?

All my local A-line has to offer is a "Brute Power" slave cylinder because Delco has apparently dropped their entire clutch line. I was told it is the same thing and that the parts are made in the U.S., although it is assembled in mexico.

I just got through comparing it side by side to my GM/Delco I pulled out of the car and the only difference I could see is in the return spring. The GM unit has about twice as much coils as the "Brute Power."

I have a Mcleod street twin with a Mcleod master and power shift very often as well as give it 6k+ launches at the track. Once this thing goes back in I do not want to have to take it out for some small issue like a slave. Does anyone have any experience with this slave? Or anyone with enough experience to offer me some sound advice?

I have never heard of Brute force. As long as it compares to stock quality it should be fine, but don't be confused by the number of coils as the visual representation is not necessarily a representation of the actual progressive rate. How does it feel when you push down on it compared to the stocker?

The stocker feels stiffer...

Is there an easy way to just swap springs? It is exactly the same down to the part # printed on the housing except for the springs.
