Nothing wrong with using a chain without the half-link, it just means you'll get a slight amount of chain slip when struggling up hills.

I've used these before with no real problems;

Having it a bit loose is by far and away the more preferable option, as opposed to having it as tight as the one fitted to your c5 at Brooklands.
