I got an estimate from a local shop about two months ago to change an open 4.56 to a posi 3.54 in a D60 (so the estimate included the gear change also) ~$2200. I decided it was not worth it, right then and there, ha...

The ONLY reason I was considering the posi was because everything was already going to be torn apart for the gear change. If you're not racing - and if you're not going off-roading or intentionally driving in poor weather conditions (you did say it was only a weekend driver), there's really no reason to dump the money into a posi "just to have one" even if you installed it yourself to save a few bucks (especially with 3.08s).
