Yep, they take some real estate, after that I spose it's more a 
preference thing. As for doing all the other things I don't need any 
special clips or tools to work with the block. Just a punch tool and a 
test set.

As for the real estate, heck in the last studios I just built (Yes 
you're gonna grumble <EG>) I brought all the Audio IO's 8P8C connectors 
from the digital console out in STP cable directly to a 66B.  From there 
I used Gepco Zip Twin audio cable to go to all the sources and 
destinations. This made for a neat install and I didn't have all those 
darn RJ45 adaptors (and I really do _not_ like them) hanging all over 
the place. Estimated cost differential was around $500+ savings per 
studio. Back to the real estate, that poor lonely 66B was the only thing 
I had in the wiring area. It looked so lonely..

I don't double punch, then again I still have a nice selection of ST 
connectors :)

I'm open to working with the other style blocks and do when I'm working 
with data. Still, call me whatever you like, (I don't mind) I prefer 
66B's for audio. But will be happy to do it any other way the customer 
wants it.
