I did that years ago and went full circle with it - now back to OEM spring type on everything. Got tired of smelling coolant. Not a leak, just oozing here and there - I could never get the screw type torqued correctly - tighenend up on a radiator so much it cracked the upper neck once and most other times tighten them up and they would need a re-tighten every 6 months or so. Spring type on the hatch work - no leaks and never need re-torque.i got rid of all my spring type clamps for screw type. its just a better fitment and easier to get a screwdriver or allen wrench into tight spots instead of pliers.
Maybe your experience with them is better than mine was - ok with me - mine sucked. No more coolant smell. Give it a year or so and I'll let you know if I'm happy with them or go back to the screw type again.
