Is that because Quaife’s are a helical gear design? I came across another company called Blackline that makes an e53 LSD, but it’s helical as well. It’s about half the price of a quaife.
Obviously any LSD has to “match” the final drive ratios, correct? Mine are the 3.64 of the 4.4i.

Yes, quaife, torsen, helical... All the same shit.
I should note that helical diffs do have one real and meaningful advantage: They don't really wear out. Clutch diffs and viscous diffs absolutely do.
Edit: And no, the LSD doesn't match the drive ratios per se. The LSD coupler is bolted to the ring gear. You would almost certainly reuse the existing ring gear.
