OK, so I'm not the fastest guy on the block, but I finally got around to testing a little further. I put the rest of the channel power cables on my LE V2 and set up a test sequence in Vixen with complete success. I now have confirmed 16 channels working with Vixen driving it. I think you all call it blinky flashy?
Best of all, no more bleeding as I now lay the extension cord down on some cardboard and strip the insulation with my utility knife. Nice and clean ends and no pulling with my teeth. (At 57 years old, I'm a little afraid of the teeth coming out along with the insulation - and their real teeth, not false ones).
I'm not sure I like the tinned ends of the power cables as much as I do with just bare wire, but I guess it's for the best.
Now, on to cabling and testing my LE V3 and building my other two LE V3's. Man, do I feel good.
