Interesting.  No discussion here, but lots on the Digitrax list.  I'd have thought someone would have an opinion... so here's my shot at pluses and minuses relative to a quality (2-blade) suitcase connector.

Lever connector Advantages:
    - less finicky than suitcase (avoid poor crimping technique, crushed connectors, etc.)
    - reusable
    - elegantly allows disconnect/reconnect for troubleshooting

Disadvantages:
    - user must strip wires (many, many people can't do this reliably without nicking the wires, unless they invest in a good stripping tool)
    - if series-connecting to tap into a bus, for example, you introduce 2 connections inline (no way to have an electrically continuous bus with no joint)

Personally, I can see using these in certain locations, like when fanning out several sub-busses.  I would likely use a suitcase to tap the main bus, and feed the lever connector from the suitcase tap.  I can also see using one of these if I have to isolate a section of layout due to a short, for example, but want to reconnect it later.

YMMV.  Comments?
