Syncro without diff locks

I'm looking at an 87 Syncro multivan with a view to buying it. It has no diff locks fitted (from new).
Just wondering if there are any major pros or cons to not having them?

I wouldn't be doing any major off roading regularly, but the extra grip could come in handy from time to time.

Re: Birth of a Syncro

Nice job on the conversion. I presume this would cost an arm and a leg if you didn't have a donor vehicle to take the syncro parts from? What I mean is....for someone who wants a syncro on a limited budget, would it be a good option to buy a nice 2wd from Germany and convert it to 4wd when funds all...
