I love the confidence that the 4X4 gives you and I've never had any issues with transmission problems.
The 2wd on the other hand is a beast and a bit of a handful. Treat it with respect and you'll be fine.
Hell, I could have written this myself
... exactly in the same situation
I drive my 4x4 daily and knowing I don't have to be "on edge" when it's wet, a little cold and possibly icy means I can have some fun without fear of loosing it.
The 2wd is driven regularly too in all weathers, just have to be more careful.
In the main though, the 2wd is much more fun, more spritly, feels lighter, maybe all due to an extra 50-70bhp though, never driven a 4x4 with 300/330bhp
PS: Some say that having a 4x4 is publicly annoucing you're gay, so be careful
