When I did my 380, I popped for a Mercedes chain with the old-style clip and used it. But I would have used the C/E clips had I gone with Iwis. For me the clinchers were that no one could cite a failure of the clips, and the MB manual did not recommend crimping. Plus I thought that the clips were a better bet than my first attempt at peening.
