Looks like there is only one way to do it properly.

over hear in Australia, the 4 pin SSR kit is popular- anything wrong with it?
If you watch the video above it takes about the complexity of drilling the crank with 4 perfect pin holes and making sure they are straight. Nothing wrong with it, just risky and you won't necessarily know if one pin isn't in straight and sheers off. VTT spline lock pushes in under force and locks off (but is hard to then remove) and their own design for crank hub uses a single larger key position for simplicity of installation. Each to their own I guess.
My 4-pin hub included a jig and high speed drill bit for the precise hole size. The bit fits the jig so the holes are aligned and exactly in the right spots, and the jig also helps to bring any shavings out front of the hub. It's not like you use a sharpie and a bubble level...
