Who has added an Agile Offroad air locking differential?

I have a 2017 2500 4x4 that I use for dispersed camping adventures. Nothing radical: gravel roads, double tracks, washes. Home base is southern AZ and we travel through out the western US. In June, we'll explore the Owyhee River area (OR, ID). I work to avoid rocks, mud and deeper ruts. We're going out further to more remote locations and I just realized that Agile has an ARB air locker. That seems like reasonable insurance, to me. Does anyone have one on their Sprinter?

FWIW, I have lots of experience off road and with locking diffs: with a Land Cruiser and an old G-wagen and even a POS Chevy Suburban diesel K2500! I've avoided putting a winch on my sprinter because of the bumper weight and because of how "bad ass" they look (ha!). I do bring traction boards, a shovel, a chain saw, kinetic rope, etc. I haven't been stuck in years because the last time I was I had to ask a neighbor to bring his Cat D5 down the mountain to unstuck me!

The air locker is spendy - about $6k, so I figure a discussion is in order! TIA .
