I was a cable splicer for several years for then Northwestern Bell. They did a study which concluded, at the time, that B wire connectors, properly used with the correct wire presser were the equivalent to a solidered connection. I realize this was many years ago. I spliced many thousands of pairs with them, 24 gauge or smaller we didn't strip and no problems. So as I said earlier it's a matter of preference, I've followed up people who improperly used scotchlocks that left troubles. Don't see where anyone is stupid for voicing there like or dislike for a particular connector. Guess jeffmoss26 was right flames can start over some pretty silly things....just my opinion.
