totally true! touringcar and buggy diffaction isnt the same, and thats the reason why a buggydiff can be not so smooth like a$$ and it still works perfectly. Important is, no slipping diff + good slipper settings + good build (and then you dont have to tighten the diff all the way until it doesnt slip). In some cars its harder to get a diff free and not slipping, because the material matches not perfectly together (hardness of balls, rings,... )
Just my 2 cents..
