Thanks for the extensive and well-written review, that is very informative.

As for the sentence quoted above, the biggest benefit of the LSD - at least for me - is not during straight-line driving (which I find boring anyway). It's rather when you take it through bends and twists and turns on nice winding side-roads, or even better a demanding track such as the Nürburgring. Then you'll notice the considerable improvements to traction even better. For me, it was a night and day difference as I had driven my car on the Nordschleife without an LSD and with the Quaife. Much more fun now!

Also, I'd suggest you drive with DSC off (one push on the DTC button), otherwise the electronic wizard will still brake you in before the diff can work properly (and you can't go sideways so easily ).
