Kind of, instead of the multi-plate clutch system in a true LSD, the Locker is very similar to a Tor-Sen diff in the basic operation. Other manufacturers use different names but many make similar. This might give you more of an idea :

I'd go with the "you won't like it if you cut the weight off" vote for what it's worth. It's nice, reassuring feeling when you feel the diff bite and the power go down to the road where it's meant to be - looks great on the track driving sideways but for the road it loses you traction and time. It also draws unwanted attention from the local constabulary which is never good as they will always try to find something to do you for in addition to your sideways driving.
