   That style of points as been around for years with seemingly no ill 
effect. The condenser and the ground wire are both supposed to clip over the post 
for retention and the spring just makes the contact.
   Now, on the other hand, if you still want the style with the nuts to hold 
the wires, That is the style I sell. I don't know the brand and I don't care 
because they work good. 
   I think this is as everything else is, There are only so many 
manufacturers out there and everybody buys from the group and puts they're name on it.
