REFLECTOR: Pitot-static plumbing

I've just installed a Dynon D-180 EFIS/EMS into my Std FG and would like 
an opinion regarding the plumbing of the pitot-static system.  I've 
ripped out the VSI, turn & bank coordinator, DG, compass, and artificial 
horizon indicator and I'm leaving the airspeed indicator and HSI as 
backup.  Needless to say, there will be much less plumbing as far as the 
pitot-static system goes.  Is there any reason why I should not use 
quick-disconnect fittings for the plastic tubing instead of the 
compression fittings?
