DCCD is what is in some Type R's right? Thats what I have in mine, and it allows to you transfer power from mainly to the rear to almost AWD. I never use it to be honest but each to their own I guess!! Great selling point for a car though!

Andy, to answer one of your questions an LSD (limited slip diff) comes in to play when cornering and also when try to put power down in a straight line. If you take a sharp bend the car leans over to one side, if you are trying to put the power down the wheel with no weight over it can start to spin, the other wheel which has the most grip to power you round the corner has no power going to it thanks to the other wheel spinning. So you get very little forward motion as the only wheel driving is the one spinning.
What an slippy diff does is sense this and lock the wheels so both wheels are turning. Anyone who had a mk2 escort will know what I'm on about - showing my age now
You can also get torque biasing diffs but thats another story.

suppose it would depend on what i could reasonably ask for my car i suppose... and insurance woes/budget for an r.a. plus the age thing/engine rebuilds concerns me too.
