I by locked you mean "welded or spool" then you really can't be as smooth as you should. To drive a locked diff you have to be aggressive and slide more and toss more. Until the clucth diffs became available again your only options were open, torsen or locked. Open = slow, Torsen = better, Locked = fast but very hard on axles and hard to drive well.
Now there has been strong debate here before about locked diffs in FWD. And yes I know Albin has won many races with a locker but I bet if even he tried the clutch type LSD we have he'd love it. After all, under heavy power application it does lock in all but the most extreme cases where it will allow "limited slip" which is what you want when you are turned very tight etc.
The LSD diff wil put more power to the road due to its ability to still be "open" under light or lower load throttle applications. Go look at what Hewland and XTrac put in their FWD touring car gearboxes.
