Interesting. I started using the AMP connectors several months ago and find them to be superior to Anderson's. The contacts are beefier, they are .035" thick while the Anderson ones are .023" and the AMP ones have stabilizing wings on them so they don't flop around in the housing like the Anderson's. They mate more solidly with a distinct snap/click and it takes 8 pounds of force to pull them apart as opposed to only 3 pounds for the Anderson's. They mate just fine with Anderson connectors and with an AMP mated to an Anderson, it takes 6 pounds of force to pull them apart. The AMP housings lock together with an integral locking tab...no extra roll pin required. The spring is also stronger and holds the contact slightly higher in the housing for more contact force.
