I agree in this case. The one case where the new handle seems superior to the old is if you want to attach it to two 1x1 plates with clip vertical to make a hinge point. With the old handle you clip one clip to the center, which makes a half-stud (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
