I looked for another thread on this and couldn't find one, if this is a repost, please excuse it.

What are everyone's feelings on the spring-clip terminal blocks included in some recess fixtures?

They are to be used in place of wire-nuts, usually accomidating up to four wires, and seem like an designed very similar to the notorious back-stab system.

Given the reputation of back-stab devices, my inclination is just to cut the darn things off and use wire nuts. Am I wasting my time wire-nutting because of an unrelated concern? Should I just feed-through the terminal blocks?
