Same thing here, Michael. They didn't have the Safe-Connect plugs when I bought my black chrome plugs last year. I recently bought the safe-connect plugs to connect the Axioms (M60s/VP150/QS8s) I gave my older brother. I'm at his home in Ft. Myers, Florida right now (flying home this afternoon), and finished hooking everything up last Sunday.
Though the black chrome plugs work just fine, I much prefer the safe-connect plugs for their easy, secure connection, and because they are shorter and lighter than the black chrome plugs, which means less strain on the binding posts to which they are connected. And, having rubber jacketing, they are just a bit safer.
