Can you expand on this a bit? Been reading up on 1.5-way vs Quaife, and this seems to be the main tradeoff (Quaife doesn't handle a wheel in the air well, but is much simpler on maintenance and still a decent drivability upgrade over stock VLSD). Why is the open diff behavior actually a good thing? (easier to get the car back flat?).
