Well I will throw my wrench into the works here.

I always carry during the winter 50 lbs of sand in my truck. Now keep in mind I have grown up driving in the snow a couple weeks out of the year, and my family has never had a 4wd, so I learned to drive in the snow with 2wd. Basically with my truck I have passed 4wd's stuck even without chains. With chains I have passed 4wd's that have turned around.

Morale of the story its the driver not the vehicle. An LSD will improve performance; as will a locker. Will it ever be as good as a 4wd? But can a skilled driver take it at least as far as an inexperienced driver in a 4x4? Bet on it.
