Any way to have a nice clean butt joint? I don't like the crimp butt joints
or twisting the wires together with the accompanying monster bulge.

It's not a cheap solution, but this is a solder sleeve that meets your
requirements. As you can see from other posts, the conventional
wisdom is to avoid solder splicing, but this particular product
includes a controlled amount of solder to prevent wicking beyond the
sleeve. Be sure to use the part recommended for the application.
