I don't tend to hang out here, however, recently I installed a Scosche M8rix switch control in my 2nd gen Sequoia. I have never gone with a switch setup like this before. I tend to wire individual switches with fuses and relays. I generally dislike using butt connectors and prefer solder and shrink tube when attaching pigtails, I prefer crimping new terminals on when I can.

On that note, I spoke with Scosche tech support to determine which terminals to purchase and they couldn't get me an answer. I ended up depinning the plugs and measuring them. I knew they were Metripack plugs buy needed the measurements.

The 2 30 Amp plugs are Metripack 480 series with 10awg wire.

The 4 pin 15Amp plug is a Metripack 280 with 14Awg.

The final 8 pin plug for 10Amp circuits is a Metripack 150 running 14awg.

It is a neat little switch control and has a lot of programmable functions. It really makes for a clean, simple, modern looking installation. It is expensive, but I think it could be worth it depending on your needs.
 
Uh, Scosche claims:
2 - 30A
2 - 15A
4 - 10A
...for a total handle of 130A.
Your description is different.

What exactly is the concern?

My description is not different and there is no concern. I was listing the necessary Metripack terminals for attaching your accessories without splices.
there are 4 plugs coming off of the M8Rix. Of those, 2 are individual 30A plugs, 1 is a 4 wire plug that controls 2 15A circuits and one is an 8 wire plug that controls 4 10A circuits.
