To return to a pair of previously hashed-out discussions:
Consider the cost of having to trouble-shoot one or more hand-crimped
cables, and
rank that against the cost of premade cables. You might not be able
to buy them in length increments less than one foot, so neatness will
suffer a bit.
Hand-made power cables have a much higher probability of success, but
if you can buy them with one end connector already attached your labor
is halved.
