I like the clear wire leader material and the twist with the melting technique. Crimping is tricky business: not enough and it does not hold, too much and you severely compromise the breaking test of the wire. With no-stretch braided lines, wire leader failure from the swivel knot and the two crimps on the leader is where most of the failures occur. There's a lot that can go wrong with crimps.
