Since I have the MT I will answer it for you. 
I say zero Down side, I essentially do the same thing that A-Trac does while heal toeing so A-Trac is a wast if you know how to use all 3 pedals at the same time since you are doing what it is, applying the brakes to force the other wheel(s) to spin. I turn on A-trac every now and again just to play with it and the only time I've found it to be useful is on a hill climb that isn't crazy steep were you can go up the hill with just a little gas and no feathering of the clutch. The locker on the other hand is great and has been very handy. |
I sort of understand what you're saying, but you're not exactly doing what Atrac is doing. When there's slippage, atrac can drive the wheel with traction while braking the one without. When you use the brakes manually, you can't selectively apply the brakes to each wheel. ABS sensors can detect slippage and apply the brakes to the one spinning-until both wheels are going at teh same speed.
