Getting a disco potato for only $300 more is an absolute steal man! Ball bearing turbos require less oil to properly lubricate them, and because of less oil volume the seals last longer.

The biggest benefit to them though is the transient throttle response you get with them, they get into boost quicker and get back into boost in off/on partial throttle situations. A good ball bearing setup that is properly sized can feel almost as crisp as a supercharger setup.
