Default Energy efficient threshold

I'm re-doing an entrance door because SWMBO found a nice 36" ThermaTru
door she liked at an estate sale.

It's not pre-hung, and it is bigger than the old entrance door so I'm
building the jamb from scratch.

I thought it would be fairly simple to pick up a good threshold, then
use stock weatherstrip for the doorstops.

No luck at the Borgs- and I've been wandering around online for a
while and haven't seen anything as nice as what comes on the factory
prehung doors.

I'm in NY so I want something to keep the winter outside. Wood &
aluminum with a rubber center- and a way to adjust it is my goal.

Any thoughts on particular thresholds- or sources that might have some
choices?

Thanks,
Jim
