Am I correct in assuming the smaller diff case and innards are weaker?

The sun and spider gears look cast in the pics of the smaller one, whereas the larger diff looks to have machined forged gears.

I was hoping to install an LSD with the 3.46 ratio of the auto into my 135 6MT, but I don't want to sacrifice strength or reliability.
