My take: I think these are indeed the best straddle hangers out there. Here's why. You position the hanger for optimum/even pull from both brake calipers, then you set the screws and secure the straddle wire so the hanger remains perfectly positioned; without it the hanger can float and eventually the pull on the calipers will become uneven.
I use the philips head screw just to hold the straddle wire in place (in the hanger) enough to unhook it from the caliper and to tighten the allen bolts (which generally DO require unhooking the straddle wire to get an allen key on the bolts, particularly with a rear rack). SO, the allen heads make perfect sense to me, to hold the straddle hanger in place after setting it up to pull evenly. The philips head holds the cable in place while you disconnect the hanger wire, enabling you to then set the allen bolts. Beautifully designed...
