My vote is to keep your mouth shut until Phaestus puts up his review. Numbers should benefit the quality of discussion.

Discovered some quality control issues with the first lot of blocks that shipped out, including the one that went to Phaestus. Managed to get all these issues resolved today, but will be sending Phaestus another block to be certain in case his block suffered from the problems.
Problems were an incorrectly machined O-ring groove that resulted in improper mating between the top and middle plates, and inconsistencies with the lapping procedure, apparantly due to the factory floor manager who i explained the job to being ill (and away) and the machinist in charge of the lapping machine not fully understanding the nature of what he was doing in this instance.
All the faulty pieces in my possession were returned, but some were likely sent out, but only to those in Australia (and Phaestus). I've offered for any Australians to return their block to be corrected at my shipping expense if they are not satisfied.
Sadly just a case of early teething issues that were caught early, corrected, and will be happily corrected for any who have the block already as required.
Phaestus will get another block sent his way on Monday.
