I called about two weeks ago and spoke with a guy at dynatrac. He was telling me that portals aren't really commuter friendly, and referenced the 5:1 gear reduction being an issue for freeway driving. He said you could get away with it on occasion but not recommended for regular use...
I'd love to switch to portals, but that took the wind out of my sails.

Read on here somewhere a while back about Jeep having finally perfected the matte paint process so that it's as durable as traditional paint. Here's hoping this is a glimpse of factory matte paint colors to come.
