Default rear locker comparision

so im looking to buy a rear locker for my 29 spline 8.25 and found a deal on a spartin rear locker, i had planned on going with aussie as i have an assuie up front and love it but again scored a deal. so my question is now how does the spartin compare to an aussie? i know there both a "lunchbox" locker but how do they compare in noise? in turning capabilities being in the rear? any comments on the actual product of the locker itself? any opinions would be grealty appreciated. thanks every!

same basic design, both will perform about the same. I havent seen many spartans in action yet, but havent heard of any real issues with them either. same goes for aussie. Personally i like the "pin" design on the spartans better (just a visual observation)

I ran Aussies in my stock axles and have a Spartan in the front now. If it's any louder I can't tell but it is way easier to install.

I like the spartan better, just based on ease of installation and it comes with the hardened cross pin.
