If you're having a hard time cocking the guns in single action you may have mechanical issues aside from the springs themselves.
Wolff does make a slightly lighter, 8 pound hammer spring for the J-frame that may help to a degree, but the lighter spring may induce reliability problems. Be sure to check the SA pull with a trigger pull gauge if you decide to change to a lighter mainspring or rebound spring in either of the guns. Going to a lighter rebound spring can make the SA very light in terms of pull, sometimes falling below 2.5 pounds.
Part of the heavy feel of the double action is due to the design of the smaller j-frame. A 10-12 pound factory DA pull is pretty typical for a factory original example of the models you mentioned.
