The TMP connectors are not that hard to insert, but the danger is that
it is easy to apply too much force when they are not aligned properly,
and damage the socket-board connection. You can lift the trace from the
board if you are not careful (yes, I learned this the hard way).
The trick is to start them by hand and make absolutely sure the center
pin is in its socket, and then push them all the way in with a tool like
very small needle-nose pliers or forceps.

The cost differential probably makes that impractical.
However does anyone know if there is a tool for insertion and removal of
those TMP connectors? I'd surely invest in one if I ever saw it. They
definitely are a PITA.
