I agree with you SAM, Ed's comments arent representative.
the ser-001 is a wonderful idea but its utility only comes into play on the rare chance your interconnect port ACTUALLY fails.

Is this really representative? My impression is that the group that has had
the interconnect port fail is very much the minority- not to say that it's
not somewhat fragile, but if handled cautiously it seems to do just fine.
Of course wrenching the dongle to the side will break the connector off the
board, but it will do the same to the add-on port (it's true that the dongle
is larger than the connector on, e.g. the end of the keyboard cable)
A good argument for the SER-001 is that with it you simply don't need to
carry the dongle around! One less thing to lose and to hassle with.
