I think for an install that maybe seen John's method a much more attractive and professional way of doing a buttsplice though.
We mention these in the blog post. You're right, they are quite nice but 10x the price of the non-insulated method. You do get a better crimp than the hardware store type, but you still run the risk of damaging the insulation during crimping.

As far as pull-out goes, it really pays to have quality crimpers.
