All that said, I'm running a Campy 11 chain with a sloppy fitting master link and it's caused no problems so far. A link that is too tight is more likely to fail.
Yeah I read what you wrote, which was that the SRAM powerlock wouldn't fit:

I don't have a ton of experience with bike parts, which is why I asked a more specific question.
