It all adds up to a better CAN bus experience.
X1000 especially the part about inspection. Make easy for the RI to see what is going on and the RI will be happier. A happy inspector will bend over backwards to help you get into compliance.

It will also make things easier to trouble shoot, if needed and less likely for someone to connect things wrong when a fix is required in the heat of competition.
