They might be opposing objectives but my main concern right now is this really is a non reversalble mod of which could create some issues down the road should I want to sell.

As for Dinan, I am surprised to hear some of the current issues while driving in D mode but like jmflukeiii I rarely drive it in D.

I am not sure this mod is worth the money at this point but a little more research is in order.
From what you are wanting, I think it is the perfect modification. 60-90 is not such a problem because no matter what gear you are in, you can flick down to 2 and finish that move off in 3 stock. So no, you shouldn't lose acceleration, you'll just be in different gears. In fact, that move would probably then best be accomplished solely in 3rd gear without a shift in between which might make it faster. I don't know, speaking from theory and little experience.

I couldn't care less about the D problem as I said before. The point you bring up that could be an issue is the resale value later. I would rather buy the car with the mod on it; I do mostly city driving or short stretches of highway and as such a differential (in theory) should make the car much "quicker" for that. Obviously, if someone is buying your car for a freeway commute, it would not be best. Yet I wouldn't want to buy this car for a freeway commute alone anyway...
