As long as you don't need more than 630V the yellows work as good as anything else...I've been using them for close to 15 years (save for a few years in the middle where I lived away from my source of them) and never had a problem.
Just a difference in style preference is all. As they say, all roads lead to Rome

We have no brick and mortars around here that stock them, so online for me is the best and easiest way to go.
