New Eaton E Locker Models

I know it would be noisy as heck, but has any skipped the Air/Electric setup and put Detroit Lockers in Front and/or Rear?

In the video he mentions heavy trucks, which at 3 tons the LC seems to represent.

Detroit not available for the 200....

In the market, for elockers for my 100 series so the cruiser brothers have kindly given me a quote for the Harrop eatons. Since eaton is coming out with the new locker(that they are working with Harrop on), I called Eatons technical support line and unfortunately while the individual was very nice, he was not very forthcoming. New line of elockers will be out sometime this year and they are not releasing the information of how the new locker is different from the one they have supplied to Harrop for a number of years until the release date is set.

Eaton has what they call the "Direct Acting" locker which seems like it addresses the lock/unlock issue of their older locker design, but they only seem to make it for the Dana 60 and 70.

The "lock/unlock issue" is completely overblown, and is more of a conceptual/keyboard jockey battle than anything real. I run both types of lockers (ARB air and Eaton electric) and there isn't any difference in real world use. Also, I've run the Eatons on very challenging trails so they aren't being babied.
