BFA Banana Plugs

I have read several posts on this forum as to what people prefer to be the best speaker wire termination for their systems....bare wire, spades, banana, etc. Many of the posts describe users' experiences with the Audioquest BFA line of plugs. Looking into what's offered in these plugs, seems that there are 100, 300, and 500 series. My question.........

Other than the difference in metal plating material and a difference in price, has anyone compared these different series of plugs to determine if there is a difference in quality, whether it be in sound or build quality?

I haven't comapred them for sound quality, but I like the low-mass type that is shown on the Moon Audio site.

This is not the vendor I've used in the past to purchase my BFA style banana plugs, but these low-mass BFA style banana plugs look like the ones I've used in the past. I'm guessing the same one, or at least the same style, are available from multiple vendors.

I typically clip off the crimp wing and solder them to the cable. They work perfectly. They have a large contact area, fit tightly and don't loosen over time.
