MSL - Are you referring the the 80-20 like your Subaru would have or the limited slip differential in the newer models? I think ( based on personal experience ) that the independent wheel ( limited slip ) does respond differently in handling when one tire is different in tread. As the slogan goes: "Transfers power from the wheels that slip to the wheels that grip". In the 80 - 20 if a back tire slips, the power gets transferred 100 to the front tires as a set not individually as in the limited. In which case it wouldn't be a huge deal.
I think for where you are driving Rockski, you will appreciate having the extra studded if you get a flat. I driven those roads a couple times in the winter and can get very slick and desolate out there. Even if it is for piece of mind.
