Where is the cheapest for quaife atb?

Where's the cheapest place to get a quaife ATB for my 7" sierrs diff with push in shafts?

So far Chris Astley seems the cheapest.

Also what sort of life do they have? Is it risky buying second hand?

Cheers

dunno about prices, bought mine secondhand from someone on here, and it had been back to quaife for a service, IIRC they have springs in them, which had been replaced. the rest is just gears, so usual checks for play in bearings etc i guess.
Don't imagine they have a hard life in most lightweight cars.
have heard good things about tran-x too.

I think Trans X are plate diffs and hence need quite a bit of maint / careful setup and are perhaps a little harsh for road use.
