A nice informative thread.
I think that says it. They are cost effective for commercial applications.
There was/is a crimp system that used normal end-feed copper fittings and pipe. The tool crimped them together. This would be cheap as end-feed fittings are very cheap to buy compared to others.
The Yorkshire Xpress have an O ring in the fitting. How long will this last?
The cost. Is this Express system cheaper than using quality compression fittings like Conex? Compression fittings can be quick to install. They do need a smear of Jet-Blue or LSX on the seating of the fittings.
Looks a good system are the fittings easily available do they do a manual crimping tool which maybe a bit cheaper than the electric one?
I order the fittings from Plumb Centre but they are not a stock item but can have them next day. Not sure about a manual one check the website they may do can't see why not. The fittings are about twice the price of Yorkshire up to 28mm then they become cheaper than the equivilant.

It really is excellent but the machine is £800 but does save on hot works permits and is mainly used in industrial and commercial but you can easily get 15mm and 22mm fittings so we use it domestically to save bundles of time. Also it maintains the earth continuity so no need to run new earths everywhere like plastic pipe.
The fittings look neater than speedfit as well so other than price I can't see a downside
