While I wouldn't profess to know the reliability of the system, it may be possible that the new system may be more reliable, there would be less handling of the unit that would lead a normal cap to wear out.

Maybe, just maybe, it IS a better idea. No cap to take off, the system is safer and allows less fumes to escape.

Not only that, how many warranty claims do you think Ford has a year when a customer cross-threads their gas cap and the light comes on?

Better idea? Time will tell.
