Default Ball diffs versus gear diffs

I was wondering, what's the advantage with ball diffs?

Gear diffs are way smoother.
Gear diffs are maintenance free.
Gear diffs aint got any power loss, due to a too lose setting.
Gear diffs weighs the same as ball diffs (at least, when the outdrives are made of the same material).

As far as I can see, the only advantage of ball diffs, are the adjustability. But then again, according to some of the setup guides, it aint the right way to adjust under- / oversteering balance.

I might be wrong somewhere..... Can someone please enlighten me about what's the big deal?
