Kadee couplers or Greenwich?

Kadee couplers video

Here above you can see the benefits of the kadees, and they are pretty easy to fit to the KB scale wagons, utilising a self tapping screw.  At £3.30 for 2 pairs they aren't cheap, but not too bad for 7 wagons and 1 loco…  There have however been mentions that they can be difficult to couple on curves. They would also be quicker to get going as they require less work to install.

On the other hand I could use the greenwich couplings. 5 pairs for a £5 plus a few quid for extra hooks.  Much more info here: http://www.kbscale.com/couplings.html 

I’m probably coming down on the kadee side, but will take some time to consider.
