Also, not sure how I feel about the pigtails. Especially since they are only #12 gauge. I would have preferred to see #10 gauge, or a version with screw terminals for the teams that want to use them.
The screw terminals would have dictated a larger packaging.

We were planning on leaving anderson pigtails on each end of EVERY speed controller going forward on 973, glad they made that decision for us essentially.

It's different, but I don't see it being a problem. If we had pigtails for 10+ years then switched to screw terminals people would be bothered in the other direction.
