Imo,
This Eaton rear is a steal at 100.00. Try walking into any salvage yard looking for one then buy it for 100.00, a bit unlikely.
The 3rd member 4.57 gears are low even with OD but mud truck, rock crawlers or any off road folks can't find enough of them.
Fwiw, 4.10 3rds are out there and can be swapped easily, if you still wanted use the DRW HO72 set up. You can get new drums for the DRW but are made by 1 manufacturer priced at a little over 100.00 each.
