Question 3.27 Vs. 3.07 LSD Diff. In My 300E

OK,, I want one, it's just a matter of what kind..... I want torque but I don't want to do power wasting burnouts whenever I'm in first gear. The 3.27 differential would probably offer me the best throttle response but from a stand still takeoff but I don't want to smoke the tires. The 3.07 with LSD would offer better road holding because it's using more surface area of rubber to propel the car. Too bad they don't make a 3.27 diff. with LSD.... Do they??? Anyway,, I don't want to drag race my 300E but I am assuming I can get better throttle response with an upgraded diff.. Because I can't afford to buy one of each and install just to test I'm asking for opinions. What should I go with??? Also, price comes into consideration. I am currently heading towards the 3.27 diff because of price verses one that is equipped with LSD.

Opinions and options would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Adam
