Regular Zatarains vs Extra Spice Zatarains

This is not a crawfish recipe thread, nor a crawfish recipe debate. Just a simple down home question and hopefully some answers.
Fellas, I use 1.5-2 jugs of Zatarains regular seasoning for a large sack of crawfish (plus 8-12oz of liquid boil if I want them a bit hotter). Lately I have been getting tired of all the salt and decided to try the Extra Spicy this time (more seasoning in less powder was the idea).
I was wondering, how much hotter is the extra spicy? Use 1.5 jugs and skip the liquid? Use 2 and skip liquid? What are yalls opinions? OR, go back to the store and buy regular?

I actually looked for that at Rouses. Didnt see if so I went with what I went there for, the extra spicy. Might go back if Chackbay gets enough support.

Holy shite I can't imagine the salt, and I like them salty.
But in regards to your question I have no experience with extra spicy or the pro boil.
If you aren't a tied to zatarains, one 5 lb of Louisiana and an 8 oz of liquid gives a great flavor profile with some heat.

Regular Zats and Proboil are not the same product. Zatarans has too many damn varietys.
I used extra spicey zats for years. It's good, but it turns the water almost neon orange and something just seems a little off with it. I think proboil is kinda blah. Never used regular zats.
I use Slap Ya Mama 4lb bag plus tre liquid boil you mentioned.
I'll have to give chackbay a shot.

One jug, 1.5 jug, or two jug for a big sack?
Jug = 3.9lbs (63oz)

1 jug for an 80qt pot. Plus 8oz liquid.
Amount of seasoning really depends on how big your pot is and how much water you put in it. My 80qt gets pretty full.
