there are only 2 upsides to lunchboxes. . .more like 1 since they're essentially the same.
1) you don't need to re-do gear-carriers in the diff (i.e. easy/cheap install)
2) the initial cost of the locker itself is low.
Let's be honest, lunchboxes are for the purely price motivated. Quality isn't cheap, and cheap isn't quality.
Btw the banging,and slamming of a lunchbox does have wear accompanying the noises. It's literally metal parts actuating.
If you're doing gears anyway, and want an auto locker-the Detroit is a phenomenal locker for any use. And it's smooth, comfortable, and long lasting. Heck, the Detroit is a factory locker in many vehicles. As well as it's strong.
For the record, i have 2 different rigs with lunchbox lockers, I'm often price motivated too
