Wow, that's great.. they'll be so much more streetable then... 
Don't forget then that your pinion brake will only brake one wheel when unlocked.
I don't see the real point. My ouverson locker in the front works flawlessly, unlocks when turning, and instantly locks back in under power. and I could equip both axles with them for 2/3 of what it would take to setup an ARB in one axle.

There's 2 other options...
Ourverson's $$$ 8-lug conversion, or the big F550 caliper/bus rotor thing, but that's only for 20" wheels.
The wheel brake setup I'm running isn't powerful enough IMO for heavier rigs/tire combos.

plausible point. which one are you running? and im not arguing with you to say that rockwells are streetable. currently i dont think there is enough quality aftermarket support to make this a common swap for a street driven rig.
but...its a good start. a multi national aftermarket company coming on board and realizing the market potential means that hopefully more will follow. wilwood and precision gear would on the top of my wishlist.
it would be nice to have gear options for rockwells. 6.72 is a bit deep for me. I like rockwells but i have no need for a 44 inch tire.
