I sure you knew the point I was getting at, but are probably just determined to make me jump through logical hoops for amusement factor I guess.
I knew what you meant, was being a little bit facetious with the above post. Sorry about that.

This is my problem of the day actually. The "crossover" point being the major uncertainty for me but I have been playing around a bit and I think that there is a way to maximise this. My next block will I hope demonstrate this, when other commitments allow it. In my universe one thing is for sure, a flat curved block outperforming a "US" block up to 7-8lpm can not be done with a thin baseplate.
