Question 31 Spline Yukon Duragrip diff vs Mustang 31 spline Traction-Lok Diff

Mustang 8.8" 31 Spline Traction-Lok Differential with Carbon Fiber Clutch Disks for 214$ or the yukon for 269$... pretty much rear end is completley out (wont even move, horrible grinding noise) and i am gonna beef it up so im deciding on a new diff? This is what i am getting so far.. There is a kit on late model resortaion. I pretty much need it all besides 410's and diff cover just deciding which loking diff casue i can get the 31 spline diff 214$ and 31 spline moser axles for 479$ instead of seperatley buying moser axels and the yukon diff for 533$.. just want to see if the 60$ extra is worth it? and if i am missing any parts? also eventually getting LCA if anyone has any good ideas on those it would help.. idk about UPC i want to delete those.

The eaton is a step up from the factory 31 spline units, so the yukon is probably a clone of it.

From what I've read, the yukon is an EXACT clone of it. The maker realized they hadn't patented the design or something. I think he even told eaton he was going to steal their design and they didn't do ****.
