The 2 screw method fine in theory,but you only need one screw to slaken off a little for things to go wrong, thus a lot of people are thred locking the screw, wait untill they have a grub screw head strip if they are nut using realy good quality allen keys.
I just feel the diff design is a very fiddly complex way of doing it, with plenty of room for error from the builder, the nut, bolt with thrust washer way of doing things is very simple. And I like things simple
