I agree that the switchcraft mini-xlr's are sketchy. The Neutrik's look much better.

Never saw those before.

Wow!  They're dirt cheap too!  $1.49 each for the reans, and $6.30 for the switchcrafts.  Can anyone make a comment on the build quality of the Neutrik vs. Switchcraft connectors? 

FWIW, the reans are rated for 1000 plug cycles, while the switchcrafts are rated for 2000. Not sure if that means anything or not...

the Rean's are better if not only in overall build and look, but the tab to push for release is WAY bigger.
It makes for a much easier, smoother release.

Here are the miniXLR panel connectors used >
