Before Semroc came back and began offering the old-style motor clips, I also did that with the finger tabs (although I still keep un-cut ones from Estes and Quest kits in case I'm ever out of Semroc motor clips when I want to do a scratch-build). Aesthetically, I've also always found the finger tabs unsightly--the old-style motor clips are just as functional without being prominently visible.
