Default Changing the final drive

Wondering if anyone here in the UK has changed their final drive?

I'm seriously considering it and would be looking at changing to 4.56.

Curious if anyone has this, and if so what it cost and what you think of the change.

I've changed to 4.625, love it. Although I like having a second S with the standard 4.10. I bought Paper Lawyers complete diff off him - check his signature for details.
