Default foot hold for fox and coyote

I am trying to save a few bucks and wanted idea's opinions on foothold trap size for fox and coyote's. I am thinking a Duke 1.75 would do both. I was leaning towards a dual coil, idea's welcome!
Thanks
Joe

A trap adequate for coyote will be too strong for fox. duke #2 or 3 for coyote #1.5 for fox

Should work for both but like lupus said modify them. I would go with offset laminated jaws, 4 coils, baseplates, center swivel and new chain. Coyote would be pretty hard on a Duke 1.75 out of the box. They will pop the jaws out and stomp the crap out of them.
