The only one I can think of, is that it is difficult to get high strength axles for it. The standard semi-float has good availability through Poly Performance. It is also difficult to get spares in general, and since you'll have a unique beast, you'll need to score some spares up front. I think SOR has them.

The other con to the FF is that you have to service the wheel bearings regularly, just like the front. In a semi-float, the bearings are lubed by the differential oil.
