Yeah, I don't get it either...
I'm considering chopping off Unity's plug and grafting on one from the Steiner Y-cable included with the DBAL. It might pop out here and there, but at least I'll be able to use the switch without fear of busting the laser again.
The Surefire plug is retarded-tight as well, but at least those endcaps are fairly cheap all things considered.
