I re-rigged a few years ago, using Dyform wire and Norseman terminals. I
did not compare to swage fittings, as I wanted the capability to
replace/service myself. I did manage to get an attractive "package" price
that included the wire, the terminals, and a new Profurl unit for my
headstay.
Making up the rigging was relatively easy. I used a Dremel tool with a
cut-off wheel to make the required straight cuts through the wire. (Most
wire cutters will crimp the wire.)
Measure twice - cut once!
I bought several spare cones for the Norseman terminals, as the cones are
not supposed to be reused.
