My buddy went this route at first but then later bought the molded cord and it's just a much better setup.

Yep, my choice is the factory molded 25' cordset.

I did mine in the twist lock style. The Smartplug does look more robust, but I would like to see it being more common and see the statistics on its safety. I bet it is a better adapter to use, but for companies that need to save a few bucks here and there, they will continue to go with the twistlocks.
