I don't mind slow as long as they work - personally I prefer a Tirfor.

I suppose another way to look at the issue, is that when a transfer box PTO is used in the conventional place, then you can never have the overdrive. On the other hand, if you have overdrive fitted you can utilise a variety of drives around the car to run auxillarys
