As someone who has both, they are both great...... The FT clutch basket is far better then the original version......... However with the center diff v1 I still felt better power in turns then with the FT basket, so IMO with the new V2 center diff it can only get better........ The question you should ask is the price difference (about 40 bucks) a factor? Both will do the job but I think the center diff just does it better.........
