If I could redo the purchase of our '03 I would definitely get the '04 with locking center diff. I am finding them with 60K miles in the $10K range locally. The '04 is arguably the best Disco from LR...like the '89 911 was the best from Porsche...
My '99 D2 came with a CDL too but those inbetween years were lame. The D2 also has weak point in the wheel bearings, they aren't serviceable from what I've heard and are expensive to replace.

Other than that, the D2 is just a glorified English tractor.
