I would stick with wire wrap, 66 blocks make an inferior connection.
True, but a 66 block will work. Usually. And is easily re-punched.
If someone cannot deal with wire wrapping, they are not living in a telecom world.
Really. Seriously, who cannot do wire wrap? It takes, literally, 5 minutes to learn to do it. And that's with a "screw driver" wirewrap tool. With one of these [http://www.datacomtools.com/catalog/Wire-Wrap-tools/jonard-wire-wrap-gun.htm], it takes about 10s, and you get a consistent, near perfect wrap every time. (yes, it's a bit pricey, but very worth the cost even if you only use it once to wire a single panel.)
--RickyPS: That's just the gun; it'll need a tip/sleeve. I recommend a complete kit. [http://www.datacomtools.com/catalog/Wire-Wrap-tools/wire-wrap-kits.htm]
