MRod lighter valve spring options?

My buddy and I are installing Huma regulators, his a .177, mine is a .20 w MMHF barrel/MDS/TSS. I have been reading threads on the other modifications needed to make this work. One is lightening the valve spring. I saw the Century TA-2122 conical spring on one of the threads, but they have a minimum of $40 to order, for a $1.92 spring. Where else might I buy this spring or another spring(s) that would fit our purpose, without $40 order minimums? What other springs should I consider?

This is what I've ordered and used.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/OMNI-Spring-Kit-9-Pack-For-Spyder-Paintball-Guns-Velocity-and-Valve-Springs/191302968135?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
The black longer conical spring. I didn't find a place to just get that one spring, though. The end cap needs a little work to use it.
The lighter valve spring should be mated to a lighter MDS hammer, for best performance/efficiency.
Hill sells a 6lb valve spring but believe it is unique to his valves.

I run a Huma reg in my .177 using a homemade ssg and stock hammer and spring for 70 shots on a fill. The ssg cost me nothing. The rifle is running 880 fps with 10.34 JSBs. Also opened up the valve outlet a little bigger it took about 5 minutes the valve is very soft aluminum.
Nothing wrong with using an MDS hammer and new springs but you don't have to. Just saying
