Not a fan of factory installed deck plates...

I've never been a fan of the style deck plates like the ones on FD226f OB and refer to use Armstrong deck plates. I changed to the Armstrongs on my Pathfinder and they have a much better seal (nearly 100% waterproof) and are much easier to open/close. Anyone see a reason NOT TO replaace factory base plate & lid with Armstrongs?? One in front portside of deck that is 5" and 2 in splash well that are 6"...
