LGB Track power terminals

Does anyone have a view on LGB Track power connectors?

I have been using a soldered ring tag which I screw onto the standard two screw track connectors which seems to work OK but is time consuming. I have discovered a box of LGB power connectors, which I didn't know we had. I had to replace one recently as the plastic holder cracked and the connection was intermittent. As I have these it seems sensible to use them unless there is a good reason not to.

I am starting to wire up feedback cables for block detection which will require about 20 track connections, all external. I don't like the wire connection method for the LGB connectors and I think there is possibly a problem of over tightening but have no personal experience of using them.

Any thoughts welcome.

I personally think that they are designed for starter-set, indoor use. - Taken off and on frequently, and not really for a permanent outdoor track..

I think outside, that the greater exposure to UV, greater range of thermal expansion / contraction, and wet weather, will all take a toll..

I would use solder tags on rail-joiners, or directly soldered connections.
Also a small loop of wire at each connection. - Allows for movement, and gives you a fighting chance, if you need to remake a connection.
