I have skimmed over this 80 post thread and it sounds like it comes down to solder vs. crimp. I for one am a big believer in solder, however when it comes to "crimp" connectors, if they are done properly with the proper tool, it is just as effective. Vehicle manufacturers have been using crimp connectors for years and as pointed out earlier, aerospace as well. Deutsch, Weatherpack, Metripak, Framatone, AMP, Delphi, and Molex just to name a few, are all crimp connectors used on some of the most rigourous equipment this planet has to offer. I don't think they can all be wrong.
What it really boils down to is installers choice. Crimping can't be wrong. I would have never said that ten years ago. But...it has to be good!
