What is the equivalent to Gutermann Mara 70 in other Gutermann thread?

I can't seem to purchase Gutermann Mara 70 or 50 here in Canada but I can get all types of other Gutermann thread...does anyone know what the "equivalent" to the Mara 70 is in the other Gutermann line up? Shipping/exchange from USA to Canada costs more than the darn thread does...hence why I'm asking.

I have been using Tera 60 (according to Gütermann a bit stronger but thinner) and would prefer it because it's nicer to sew, but Mara has way more colors.

The Gutermann Sew-all thread is a tex 30 Mara thread (Mara 70 is tex 40, sew heavier), and is widely available at fabric/craft shops in the US. I've used it for hammocks, quilts, and tarps without any issue, although as a general practice I prefer Mara 70.
