MU gives slightly lower attenuation than other types of physical
connector (i.e. non spliced). It's a minor pain if you don't have an
easy source of MU patch cables, but there are sound reasons for using
it.
I use Transmode kit, and have found it to be very reliable. Would
have no problem recommending it to others.
