99 F450 Dana 80 locker

Looking for a locker for my 1999 F450 with a Dana 80 rear end. I had decided on a Detroit Locker. Best price I have found online is 700 but only 1 place. Most are close to 800. I stumbled upon this at a advance auto. I can get 50 off but am seeing if I can get a better price thru my friends shop. Powertrax Powertrax No-Slip Traction System 9204803700: Advance Auto Parts it appears to work similar to the Detroit just inside of the stock carrier. I like the fact of not having to set up the gears if I leave the gearing alone but I may switch to 4.10 gearing while I'm at it. Does anyone have any experience with these Powertrax lockers? Any reason to buy it over the Detroit other than price? . I have read a ton of threads on the Detroit Lockers and none on the powertrax so I'm a little unsure. From what I've read I think I'll be happy with a Detroit and the quirks they come with.

My Dad will be setting up the gears for me if I change gears or get the Detroit. He says not to get a truetrac because that is what he put in his 78 F150 way back when and he thinks I'll be happier with the locker.
