I have always tried to make my screw hole pattern as close to each other as possible to keep the top flat on the block to prevent warping. Looks to me like those holes are spaced way to far apart for a Lucit top. Polycarb or delrin would have been less likely to warp so bad.

In the end though 100% metal blocks with proper screw spacing or soldered together like the MCW6000 series is the way to go. I think that block has an optional brass top now worth looking into.
