We chose APP connectors for several reasons, and don't regret it in the
slightest:
1. We used them on the K2/100 and all of our transverters, and have not
had a single
failure that I know of. That's many thousands of them. I personally
use them everywhere.
2. It's an emerging standard (we decided long before the ARRL did,
though).
3. 10,000 on/off cycles dwarfs what's possible with Molex connectors,
and resistance
is very low.
4. I've had a lot of Molex connectors (and the ilk) wear out on me, not
just
on mobile 12V power cables, etc., but also on electric razors :)
