The B&L connector has been used successfully up to Band V (800MHz or so) but it's hardly ideal. That's putting it politely. It's also tricky to fit properly. Notably the inner should be soldered and frequently isn't. Also it's not quick or easy to get a good conenction to the screen. Some of the B&L extension leads with moulded plugs are awful.
This screw on version of the B&L strikes me as a misguided way to improve a poor design. Why bother when the F conenctor is much cheaper and smaller. I think they will end up in my pile of scrap brass for next time I go to the scrap metal merchant.
