2) Performance. Being lazy, my ball diffs are more often than not crap. So even if a gear diff is only 90% (just an example!) efficient compared to a new built ball diff, I'd still get a lot better diff than my worn ones

But of course, if gear diffs are not to my liking handling wise I'll go back to ball diffs of course!

And I don't believe in gear diffs for 2WD, only 4WD.
not that we run ether car but wanted to pick up on ball diffs need building very often ?? really we manage to get 2-3 months plus out of a rebuild easily,i wouldn't say that is often and see people running geared diff's take em out more often than us,
