30 spline vs 33 spline?

Well here’s my problem. I bought a 12 bolt Strange rear end late December from Spohn. But they just notified me that Strange have been out of 33 spline Eaton posi units for a month and won’t get another shipment in until late February. Strange has the 30 spline on hand but should I wait for the 33 spline? Please help me decide!

If you're making less than 800 hp then 30 spline axles are fine.

Ask them to substitute the 33 spline Detroit Tru Trac instead of the Eaton.

Well the guy from Spohn said that he made a mistake and they don't offer the 30 spline with Strange. So I guess I'm going to have to wait.
