Recommendation for an IR good for acoustic *and* high gain?

Disclaimer: I use an Axe-FX II XL (not a three).

I have a swiss-army-knife preset that allows me to morph between a (poor man's) acoustic simulated sound and a searing high(er) gain lead (with a humbucker super-strat). It all works wonderfully, but I needed to add more bells and whistles (and cowbell) and now run out of CPU headroom. My easiest solution would be to ditch one of the two cab blocks. In order to do that, I'd need my single cab block to sound reasonably good for both signal rows on my grid: the searing lead tone, and the acoustic thingy.

I tried with my usual go-to IRs (some stock, some of the freebies from various members here, and a select few from my Ownhammer and The Amp factory), but in every case one of the two tones suffered too much.

So, does anyone use the same IR with both cleans and lead tones successfully? Ideally, a stock IR (from the II) or a downloadable one?

Many thanks to the community!
