I understand what you are saying, but with the usb adapters you still have the option of using a std. 12V accessory plug in device. If you permanently replace the reg cig lighter with the 5V only option you loose that flexibility. Also all the 5V adapters are not equal and I recommend getting one with dual outlets with one rated at 2A and not the normal 1A since some devices need a higher charge rate than 1A. Many are listed as 2 or 2.1A, but that is total for the two outlets and neither are rated higher than 1A. There are USB adapters rated higher with one port rated at 2A and the other at 1A.
