might be helpful if the criticisms were related to an actual problem

". . . the hose connection solution is far from ideal; no matter what size hose you use the fittings are made of plastic. While plastic obviously works, it isn't as durable as the metal barbs favored by the majority of manufacturers."
and
"Swiftech also needs to rethink their hose attachment solution. Plastic 3/8" ID quick connect fittings with plastic slide in 1/2" barbs is far from ideal."

are you aware of any - as in a single one ? - instances of the 'plastic' adapters leaking or otherwise failing ?
(are you aware that 1/2" tubing OD is the same as 3/8" copper ? - as in cut a piece and insert if you prefer metal ?)

are pumps with plastic barbs equally deficient ?
what about these bay res items ?
or the numerous wbs with plastic barb adapters ?

suggest you re-think your conclusions on 'plastic'

otherwise a useful review in that the measure of 'goodness' is the overclock attained, what this is all about
