So you didn't actually say:

There is a reason why the more experienced driver would prefer a "real" LSD, and not a cheap OEM-Based LSD. Disclaimer: Don't get me wrong, they work and serve their function, but if you want something more advanced and tunable as you progress in driver skill, this is not your best option
2) Forget about the washer/cone style multi-plate LSD's (again, old tech). For the most part, these are like on/off switches and will not provide you with the progressiveness/smoothness that you require
Well, you certainly didn't put down any particular "brand", only the products they sell. So what you are saying is that Diffsonline, Metric Mechanic, Performance Gearing, et al are peddling "cheap", "weak", antiquated ("old tech") "band-aids" alongside their more premium offerings.

No, no spin at all. Aldous Huxley would be both proud and terrified by the accuracy of his predictions.
