I am well aware of the advantages of the 205's - and you are correct on the "run-what-ya-brung" as well as me having "spares."
However - the real culprit here was not simply the aluminu t-case housing - but my lack of building a quality skid plate underneath such said aluminum t-case! No excuses - I simply didn't protect it like I should have. My fault, my bad - I knew better.
To quote Mudzilla, "What happened? I'll tell you what happened. I'm an idiot - that's what happened!"
Secondly - the other advantage to the 208 is less weight - considerably less weight. About 1/2 of a 205 and 1/4 of a 203. So for a light weight rig this would be ideal IF I had protected it.
