I suspect that the outcome would be similar with a 20 amp fuse.
I am not a fan of crimped connections. I appreciate that a good crimp tool, good materials and a careful operator CAN make reliable connections, but in practice they seem unreliable.
When working as a building maintenance engineer, a significant part of my work was locating and rectifying faults caused by defective crimped connections.
