I knit A LOT of scrappy socks and I only use the Clasp Weft join, a couple years now. Definitely less noticable in fingering weight. I do it so often then I can change colors in seconds. Ive never had an end come out or come undone. A loath weaving in ends and this is perfect for my love of Scrappy Socks!

To limit the extra bulk, what if, instead of knitting with both strands in every stitch for 8 sts, you alternated between the 2 A strands for maybe 10-12 sts, then the 2 B strands likewise? The ends would still be secured, but with little floats across the back instead of doubled stitches. (This would not address the issue of placement of the change.)
