I strongly agree. I converted ALL of my ham gear to Power Pole soon 
after buying my first K2. I've subsequently converted all of my other 
personal equipment that runs on 12VDC in one form or another. Makes 
life a lot easier. 

I have seen documentation of inferior "knock-off" connectors made by 
mfrs other than Anderson. Problems include unsatisfactory mating. 

One other important point. Twisted pair is well known for rejecting 
RFI, yet power cords for ham gear have traditionally used parallel 
conductors. The same is true for loudspeaker cables. That's two more 
standards worth changing.
