Calvin, as I understand it, Non-corrosive solder. Prevents air and does not corrode on its own. Thus, pre-terminated wire has a significant advantage as there is no oxygen in the wire, and the connection is airtight. Otherwise, correct, the only benefit is the increased surface area of the contact points and ease of use.
