Ya, to be honest, I use the fake ones as well. Granted, if the real thing were easier to find, I'd probably get more of them... especially if they were cheaper. A hobby shop by my place sells them for $14 each plus tax. If you really want them, I can pick some up for you, but I'd recommend trying to find them for cheaper elsewhere first.

The fake ones are fine to use, as long as they're not G&P ones. Just make sure you use a very hot soldering iron to quickly solder the connections on. Keep the iron on for too long and the housing can easily melt on the replicas, which would cause the contact to be crooked. You want a very flat and solid connection.
