If we assess the relative differences between JoeC and BillA at 1GPM, we do see a quite a serious anomaly, such as the SlitEdge vs the MCW50002, then there's the PolarFlo.

The Polarflo that Joe tested had over 2 times greater pressure that the one BillA tested so we can't expect any comparison. The slitedge results still have me confused. Hopefully pHaestus will test it shortly.

JoeC, to my understanding, also mounts just once. JoeC has faith in his mounting schema due to some tests he ran in the past obtaining repeatable results, and has dropped mounting blocks multiple times because of that. The right choice or not?

I think you're wrong here. Joe states a variance in each test, usually around .0015C/W but different each test, so he must be doing multiple mounts. I was under the impression that he was doing 4 mounts. If he's doing only one mount, then I would agree with you.

Myself, I believe in assessing a block's performance on the basis of its best mount out of a large sequence of mounts (at least 12), with anything else less than that best to be considered in error, rather than considering any good mounts as anomalous.

I agree with your best mount philosophy. It's always frustrating when someone will do multiple mounts then only show an average without saying how much variance he had or what his best mount results where.
As far as the results from the german site go, they're accurate enough to make me very curious. From what I can tell from the picture, the frontrunner looks to be just a cross drilled block, with three or four holes drilled from one barb to the other.(refering to the 1A-HV2)
Edit: changed .015c/w to .0015c/w
