Summary: the In-Sure actually has a little more resistance than Wago, but a little better hold on the wire.
Anyone bumping into aluminum branch circuit wiring should skip the IDEAL purple wirenuts hanging nearby these lever connectors and pick up some AlumiConn connectors (also, fortunately, in the same section at HD). The bad news is that you're going to have to make a one-time purchase of a torque screwdriver (usually in the range of $30-60). The good news is that you'll sleep easy about your aluminum wiring connections. Though not as simple as these IDEAL lever connectors, the connections using an AlumiConn are similarly satisfying vs. the unknowns of what's under a wire nut (and completely avoid the insomnia you might develop around galvanic corrosion [wikipedia.org]).
Good luck!

To be fair, IDEAL makes a lot of things at Home Depot, plenty of which don't even carry the IDEAL branding. They were the ones actually making the light bulbs Home Depot sold under Cree branding.
Good luck!

That's a small quantity, but it's also better than the "brick seek shows small quantity which means none in store"
I don't do quite enough DIY to need extras, but at that discount and price, it was tempting to get more.
