Timing chain master link with e-clips

I noticed when I ordered a new timing chain for my 560 sel; the master link was not a crimp-type that requires a chain peening tool, but a link that uses two e-clips to secure the link to the chain. I always thought these were just for pulling a new chain into the engine via attachment to the old to draw it through.

My dealer however claims that they use these master links exclusively for permanent applications. A crimp-type is unavailable from this dealer.

I feel a bit strange about having e-clips holding something so serious together as a timing chain. Has anyone had a similar experience or good or bad results with the supposed e-clip master link??? Otherwise, I might have to track down a supplier of a crimped style so I feel better.

Thanks
