I don't think anyone will argue that for a mass produced block, you can't get better performance. The NexXxos XP will be available for a lot longer than the Storm. Despite the much larger quantities the Storm blocks are available in, they are still a limited run. When they're done, they're done....until they're taken apart and copied by another manufacturer, but until then, this is the best mass produced block you can get, and it is a significant improvement over the previous best. Not quite Storm performance, but close enough. The Storm is a much better product - better mounting and construction, not to mention the fittings are more suitable for 'American' style watercooling than the ones on the XP. But when all the Storm blocks are gone, this is going to be the block to get.
