I think i speak for several 4x4'ers on the list:
I like the feeling of the lever, and knowing that the t-case has definitely
been engaged. I don't like the idea of a button for the same reason--your
hand doesn't feel a thing when you push that little button. I'm sure the
button system is nice and smooth, and works well, but the point is that
there are probably many more electrical lines involved in the new system,
and generally it's much more complicated. Therefore, there are many more
parts that can be damaged or outright fail.
As i speak (i think) for the other hardcore 4x4'ers on the DML, the lever
style transfer case should stay for those of us that enjoy the mud, and
rocks, small streams, and waterfalls. :)
