Default OBX LSD diff

anyone have any actual knowledge/experience with an OBX LSD diff?
I see a new one listed on egay for $685 shipped with bearings, seals and stub shafts.
Helical unit made in USA with limited lifetime warranty same as Quaife.

^ +1 be the test gerbil and see.. but if its 700 why not spend an extra hundred or so for a good one? maybe even a used quiafe for less than that.

I have seen and heard of way too many OBX parts failing to even waste the 700 to test it.

Do I want to see someone test this to see if they've improved things? Yes.

Would i spend my own $700 on it after the nightmare install of an OBX LSD in a DSM transmission a number of years ago that I had to deal with? No.

I may get one later when the car gets more serious. Combine that with a 3.5 rear end ( i currently run 3.7 gears) and for around $800 i can have 2 built diffs with different gear sets.
