One less thing to for the driver to worry about. I look forward to hearing more about this project!

BTW anyway we can get the CAD either in STEP format or on GrabCAD so Solidworks users can take a look?

On the higher values differential mode is kind of like normal mode since the motors are driving in the same direction, just not same speed. But at full tilt they are the same so our high end is more or less identical.

As far as the CAD goes, I don't have inventor on my home pc so I wouldn't be able to do any conversion until after the season starts but pretty much all the CAD software packages have the ability to convert files from other formats so i'm sure you'll find a way to import the files into your cad package or at worst use an online converter.
