Data point.  A TORSEN-equipped MB ur-quattro registered in 1988 is worth 
approximately twice what a WR registered in the same year is worth.
 
TORSEN is not the only difference between the WR and MB, but it's probably the 
most significant one.  It would be nice if it had a light so you could see it 
operating.
