Why is the open diff behavior actually a good thing? (easier to get the car back flat?).

basically, yeah. Most people won't encounter a lifted tire situation where they need to be on the gas--you shouldn't be putting yourself in a situation like that in a car DD, ever, IMO.
Clutch-type diffs can be a huge PITA on the street. The OSG is definitely streetable though...I just think for several hundred less, greater streetability, and essentially identical performance within the realm of most people's driving, the torsen diff is a winner. Everyone will weight things differently though.
