Going to the pub soon.

Righto, maybe 1.6x would be a fairer figure and I'd accept that. I measured 1.65-1.67x myself with the 30RZ, the MCP600, and the MCP650, and so just rounded to 1.7x for convenience. If Phaestus is willing to update change the 1.7x to 1.6x in the review, as well as fixing up the block's cost from $91US to $85US (116 AUD x 0.735 = ~$85 US), and we'll call it even.

Man, the US dollar is falling in value so rapidly. Just 3 weeks ago the exchange rate was 0.68, and people who bought in the first batch were picking them up for ~$79US (plus shipping and payment overheads).
