The 742 case is stronger, has beefier bearing caps. 489 has beefier pinion.

No it's not.

I can keep posting links all night on it. Not that it really matters because they all three are very close in strength. It's a retard arguement, but the 489 case wins because of the pinion diameter. End of story.
