Torsen makes for happy driver

Well - the Torsen went in last weekend (as a result of the spontaneous explosion of the 1.6 pinion the weekend before).
The car actually drives smoother. The Mazdaspeed centre was tight - very snappy - I could feel it transition in and out of lockup when changing gears through corners, while the torsen gives better driveability.
I'm yet to see how predictable the torsen is though, compared with the mazdaspeed. I knew the MS would just provide loads of drive through corners (great for a little bit of tail out action), but what have others here experienced with the torsen?
