I was aware of this when I posted to the Vortex thread. Of the two choices 
for a "hybrid" axle- this one does make the most sense. The inner joints do 
stay on there pretty well- I usually have to use a press to seat them... 
Someone REALLY concerned about this could use some locktite spline locking 
compound (they recommend it for Audi)...

Using 90mm OUTERS on the 100mm splines IS "Russian Roulette" ... as the joint 
will easily slide back and forth on the splines, which is bad.

Unless you are really cheap, I feel the right way to do it is to go ahead 
with a full 100mm conversion. I also believe that the hybrid axle is not 
going to be any stronger than just swapping flanges and staying with 90mm to 
begin with. 

And you won't have to worry about someday being the focal point of a "damned 
prior owner!" story if you stay with the standard items...

Shutting the hell up,
