Will a Powertrax unit make my 2 wheel drive truck behave more like a 4x4 in the snow?

I'm looking for some feedback from people who have the Powertrax No-slip Traction System installed in their trucks.
I had previously owned 4x4's for many years. My current truck however is an old 2wd with an open differential, and even if I were to buy a newer model, 2 wheel drives are obviously much cheaper. I've been considering the Powertrax unit as a possible upgrade.

According to a brochure I recently picked up on the product, they claim that the device is "so powerful that it could make a 2 wheel drive vehicle deliver more traction output than a conventional 4x4.". My question for Powertrax owners is just how accurate is this statement? Could adding this one piece really help take the place of the 4x4's I once owned? I'm not talking about off-roading, racing, or anything like that. I'm just talking about getting through the brutal winters and hellacious snowfalls in northeast ohio.

yes you will get more traction but there is a cost,with a rear locking diff the vehicle will tend to push more when turning at low speeds as well as if you spin the wheels the back end will go to the low side of the road,it may also be more prone to the back end tring to pass the front end if you are too aggressive on intersection corners.once you get the feel of it you will love the extra traction.
