Bottom line: Solid axles are desirable for strength and articulation in rock crawling.

But for most anything else, IFS rules. High speed desert and rally racers use IFS, which is really the type of vehicle the VX is emulating (IMO).
You are in a Jeep club?!

J/K, I would be curious to see the new IFS kit pitted against a similar set up solid axle.
I did get to open the kit up in the 12 hours I was home before hitting the road again. VERY beefy. More to follow in separate thread.

As for IFS vs SAS. I watched a guy bust a half shaft in Moab last year, he had it swapped in less than 20 minutes. Parts were practically free. Try doing that with IFS...but as everyone mentioned, IFS generally handles much better on the street, unless its pitted against a very well designed SAS, which would require significant thought and planning on our truck. (Looking forward to seeing Ascinder's set up). Of course, I knew nothing of this stuff two years ago...it is amazing what you can learn in wheeling groups and simple internet searches)

Did you steal the Trail rated badge off that Rubi?
