Seems like an unnecessary waste of money to stick any sort of crimp on the PDP side of the new Talons and Victors (as long as you can package the speed controllers close to the PDP)

Kudos for getting a test-bed up and running quickly! Always a good idea!

From what I've seen with the new Talons, the high strand count wire fatigues and strands begin to break at the pinch point inside the wago connector (though to what extent will be told by the season), and with the new Talon wire not being replaceable, the crimps work well for quick replacement and long term reusability. With previous years it wouldn't have made sense to do so though due to terminals being present on the speed controllers.
