Funny how everyone has different preferences....'feel' is such an interpretive thing.
I used the Lucas fluid in the tranny and it's been great. It doesn't crunch into 2nd like the stock fluid did but it's a little grabby until it warms up, after that - smooooth. It's not so good in the rear diff though, there's a hesitation almost like a slip, that's disconcerting. I couldn't find Redline locally so I grabbed a couple of quarts from the dealer this morning and it's going back to the stock fill tomorrow.
