Off the shelf rear axle assembly: Dana 60 instead of 8 3/4"? Pros/cons?

Contrary to popular belief the Dana 60 is not that much heavier than the 8 ¾ rear. The biggest difference is the 8 ¾ is a front loader so you can have more than one gear set and not have to change the entire axle assembly to change them. The Dana 60 is much stronger, has about the same parasitic draw (friction) and the power lok limited slip differential is about as strong as you will ever find. They act almost like a locker or spool on a prepped track.
