You just have to be a little creative.
The TC-4 had thick corners, which could be tapped to mount a coldplate. If you can afford it, get a silver coldplate ($100us).
The Maze 3 is a great looking block. I think that most people that made the switch from a Maze 2 got a couple of extra degrees.
Personally, I don't like the Maze 2. I think that the channels are too restrictive, and not milled with much care, resulting in high flow restriction. I prefer the new spiral at dtek, and of course the TC-4.
In theory, the TC-4 performs better because of the turbulators, but it'll be very restrictive. Also in theory, the new Spiral performs better because it allows more flow (i.e. less restrictive), probably more than most blocks.
Either way, I believe that the best performance can be achieved with the highest flow, and it would be very easy to do that with the new Spiral. It'd be a little harder to get a very high flow out of the TC-4, given the same pump (as above), but the performance should be equal. A TC-4 with a very, very powerful pump would probably outperform everything.
Right now, that's what I'm considering: a TC-4 and a very, very powerfull pump. I just have to find a pump that's quiet...
