Personally, I've found those connectors to be a major pain. We never have enough of the right size, and we have had them come uncrimped. Yes, we probably didn't crimp them right, but they aren't perfect, and we seem to have trouble with them. We lost two matches at MMR last year due to bad connections. Now, our electronics motto for this year is "Solder Everything."
