Even if it's just a matter of opinion or preference, I'd like to hear some thoughts from Fenix for the Mistral 2.0 I will add that I'm sold on the aluminum chassis however.

Speaking personally, my feeling is on the gear diff, most of the time. Carpet, asphalt, wet...
The sphere diff give me the feeling of a "lighter" car, I'd say more agile.
But the gear diff give me the feeling of a certain "ground effect".
Lap time might be on the same level, but... I'm getting older, and I prefer a realiable setup toward a potentially-faster-but-not-that-easier setup.
Bear in mind that we relay mostly on Volante and Ride GR (F/R or GRX front) and when we go on carpet, is 99% ETS version
