Default IRS vs solid axle

Hey guys,

Just asking a general question here, but realistically which is pound for pound dollar for dollar better? I know IRS is ultimately better. But in a "retro-fit" application which is better? I'm not discrediting roadster shop or art morrison by any means (I'm a huge fan of both) but is the upwards of $10k really better than a well engineered 3 link or like wise solid axle set up? And on the same lets use a cobra IRS set up for example. Is the added weight (just assuming, IDK the exact weights of both) of packaging this system really worth it? What's you guys take?

As I said sorry for such a general and vague question but I'm just thinking out loud and looking for opinions.

Thanks
Kody
