No argument, though I do admit to a bit of solid (22-ga) wire this year. Unfortunately, it's on the most-moving wire we have - going to the lift plate. Fortunately, it's just powering our "FunLights", so we won't lose any points if it breaks on us, just a bit of cool factor. Our "touch" sensors on the lift plate have stranded wires.
