I think the no hook option would make it a lot easier to ship, smaller package, and would eliminate hard feelings if some people put on 4x VMC's and others used something of lesser quality and the other builders felt they had to change them out costing them more money. Unless it's agreed that we all use the same hardware, swivels included. But I'm the new guy so I'll go with the flow and like it

*added: We could post here what size and style is recommended on the builders plug by the builder.
