A good knot should consistently break at or higher than the rated test of the line. Ease of tying and tippet savings are a nice bonus, but not enough to change from proven knots without testing.
Tying fifty of them in a row with the tippet sizes you normally use and breaking them on a scale will tell you how strong a knot is and whether or not you are tying it consistently. If it's neither strong, nor consistent, I won't use it.
Hopefully these knots will stand up to the test. I'll do it this weekend and post the results here.
