I, too, have switched over to Leader Links in the past couple of years. While
they were on my list of things to try, I believe it was Wolfgang whose pitch
induced me to try them. They have worked exceedingly well for me, and have
become my choice for line/leader connection.
I read now, in this thread, of Ken's esthetic objection, and this worries me to
no end. I think I have come up with a workable solution, however. My first
thought was to merely take artists Acrylic paint and paint my Leader Links to
match my elegant fly line. But, wait!! Why stop there, when I can purchase a
3/0 sable round brush and paint Pointillist landscape scenes in miniature on my
leader links? Thereby, I would have a stylish counterpoint to the elegant fly
line. Further, I could claim the elitist high ground, and be in a position to
declare over rounds of strong drink, that using anything less is for those too
lazy or incompetent to master color mixing and composition. I knew that Fine
Arts minor would come in handy some day, and after 25 years, I have hit on it!!

Good ideas, but why stop there. How about taking the next step -- bamboo
leader links.
