The Zs path may be deeper but the Maze has it much wider. I am personally running the Z but if the maze would of been available I would of probably gotten it instead.
As far as if it is needed, a good HSF combo would probably do as well but I like the idea of no small fans in my system (from my experience they fail more often than the larger fans). Going from the stock cooler on my max3 added more stability over 295~297fsb and allowed me to bench in the 303~305 area depending on the benchmark, so it was helped a little by the block. But on my p4c800 it was the same as the stock passive cooler and lost stability over 295.
