Bill in his typically charming way points out a vital aspect of peltier usage. Peltier mounting pressure is critical to overall performance, and choosing a block that can supply a lot of pressure evenly is a good idea. The Swiftech and the Aquajoe perform pretty similarly in straight water cooling testing and so the 8 screw mounting of coldplate for Swiftech vs. 4 for Aquajoe is really the only way they'd differ in performance significantly in peltier tests. The Maze 4 also uses 8 screws for coldplate mounting but the water channels dont even cover the entire size of the peltier so I'm not sure how well it does.
