The wife's 940 has one. Personally, I love it. Yes, you need to be careful, as with ANY axle, in bad conditions, but the end result is more control and easier forward progress. Not just in the snow, but on wet, leaf-strewn roads, mud and sand as well.

Parking the 240 on the street with one wheel in the snowy/slushy/icy gutter can make for an adventure getting out, but the 940 takes it in stride.
