If new 4bys start coming out with traction aids, I wonder if this will eventually make the difflock market redundant?

Question: since a standard Rover (without traction control) has no lsd in rear (like patrols and cruisers) does this make them inferior offroad to those that do?? :oops: Question: I am considering an auto locker for rear, does this adversely affect the constant 4wd system of the rovers at all? :lol ...
