MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Phantom Grip LSD?

www.moss-europe.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=11721

Anyone fitted and used one? How do they compaire to a real gear LSD?

I've used one in the racer for a couple of years, but haven't noticed any real difference on large sweeping circuits, guess it comes into its own on tight twisty ones. Never used te other sort so nothing to compare with. That price is high however, mine cost USD250 from Rivergate about 5 years ago.
