It's opinion based - why shouldn't the guy like them? If it floats his boat, then great. Personally, I wouldn't go near them. Maybe once when I was looking at buying the Cambridge Atlantic, or Pacific (whichever one was the £9.99 one) but when I typically hook up a £60 interconnect, the backwards step is not a good one for me, i/cs included.
Mind you, if that's Mr. Gotham speaking, cheeky!
