I have a design for a relatively straight forward nightstand that I've been attempting to turn into a flat pack, shippable piece. I've been exceptionally excited about the new 500 connectors coming out, only to realize that they don't actually prevent rotation. They're certainly more robust than your typical camlock RTA connectors and appear to have better pullout strength than the Dominofix connectors, but the need to have a second domino on every joint to prevent rotation seems like a missed opportunity.
My question is, for any owners of the system (700 works too for comparison, is the lack of rotation control actually a problem, or do these tighten up enough on their own to not need it? If they need rotation control, have you seen any ways to do it without the addition of another dowel/domino? The rails for my piece are only 1.5"x0.75", so there's not exactly much room for a second piece. Perhaps there's a better solution than the new Domino connectors.
