You mean a Spool right. A locker is a pretty blunt instrument that alternates between open and locked causing a racheting feeling when cornering. I had one in an IT car that I raced and I didn't like it too much.

A spool would be the same as a welded up diff and I haven't tried one of those yet. I did reread an article about the Turbo RSR (ca 1975) and they said that they used a spool on faster tracks which didn't have tight corners. On tracks with tight corners they used a LSD.
