Be careful with the purple wire nuts. The CPSC considers them to be for tempory use only. They have a bad habit of heating up and burning. AMP corp. makes a crimp on connector that can't be beat, however, you must buy the rights to your area and lease the crimp tool from them. Also, they are the only soarce for the connectors. I won't touch an AL. job unless it's a total rewire.
