I think it is the rebuilding cost and time where a Quaife is fit and forget job and i think for Road use is the best, but have to admit the price is a bit manly at the cost of the case

there are soooo many myths at how often a plated diff need to be rebuilt especially for road use, set up properly for road use in the front i would not expect to be taking it apart for at leat 50k miles, so thats easily the life of most peoples cosworths anyway

plate diff is a option, but it wouldn't be any cheaper than a ATB.
