These meets really get things going. Most of you know my locker standpoint. Even though mine is not only unnoticable switched off but, Sometimes not noticable switched on too. Breathers have fixed that.
Edit : do not even consider the lunchbox clicky locker. They are fun offroad but a real pain on road and in the snow straight out dangerous.

Temeraire has traction control as standard so a full locking system is to my mind a bit much. Hence the quaife as it's able to work with and be supplemented by the traction control. Call it laziness if you want but I like the idea of the car doing the fiddling bits around the edges and leaving me to focus on the line through the obstacle, the momentum I expect to need and general situational awareness. For me the novelty of pushing buttons to make things go clunk and deciding what's the best gear to select has long worn off.

Remember, the traction control is reactive, it has to sense the loss of traction before it activates, selectable lockers allow you to engage them proactively, and with judicious use, can be kinder to the driveline.
