Differences are not huge in comparison to other blocks, but certainly significant, and tell a different story to what a straight look at a flow vs C/W chart will give.

I do, however, not consider the Storm design to be a pin nor a fin block block, and certainly not in the channelled sense as typically applies to every other example of a pin/fin block.

The Storm design actually has less wall mass and surface area than a pin block of similar size given a certain CPU heat source.

IMO, the Storm design is not something which should be used as an argument for pin vs fin. It is a poor example of either.
Sums up my argument about the Cascade-G5 series. And yes, pressure drop data will be a nice addition to pH testing.
