yeah yeah wotevuh. orientation of the lobe retaining plate is unimportant. that the plate is there, is. ;-)
in the previous petrenkoworld thread linked above, rc.commer Boku tested one of the link cams to failure (with pics of the test setup and everything), and it was surprisingly strong. personally, Based on boku's test, and my experience with teh one I own, use of KROK cams doesn't exceed my personal level of risk aversion, thogh I may avoid using them with various trad partners who might not be so comfortable with KROK cam perfrormance.
gear doesn't need to be pretty, it just needs to be strong and work as advertised. BD C4s are real pretty, but you are defeintely paying for some of that prettyness. the main difference between KROK (sold thru petrenkoworld) cams and BD is that KROK has no reputation in the climbing world, and is being judged on appearance.
