I don't know any reason for not cutting off the cable and checking continuity and then splicing to the replacement brick. Sometimes the cable is really a coax cable and a little more care is needed in stripping off the outer cover. If the cable is good, I would save the plug and about 6" of wire, cutting the strain relief is a real pain. Soldering is soldering, my Basic Electronics, Professor explained that all points along the length of a cable are essentially the same. So it is no better to solder to the plug than the cable.
