I agree! I did this method and wrapped the pipe from the Intercooler pipe for later "un-modding" if I need to have engine warranty work done. Also, no hose to replace on reversal either. If I need to do in for service all I need do is unclamp the two sides of the new connector and plug the lines back on the solenoid, uncap the Intercooler pipe and slide the clamp onto the hose and slip it over the nipple on the IC pipe, slip the connector into my pocket and I am stock again. Estimated time (from doing it) 2 minutes.

Either method does exactly the same thing, I just felt this one was easier for "un-modding" for warranty. Thanks a lot ED for pointhing this out!
