It must be the minimalist in me, but I just don't see how the additional piece makes it any easier or more desirable than just using the conventional method.
It's more like a fancy ball end to a string, i.e. it does spare looping the string over the block, but you still need to fasten the string to it in similar fashion to the regular tie method.
I just like to keep things as simple as possible, especially since the bridge is designed to have the string tie to it directly, even with a 6 hole bridge.
It just seems like a superfluous part, with no real added benefit.

But hey, just a personal preference. I'm not knocking it if it works for you and others that find it useful.
