I don't know about you myv65, but I'm the type of customer that wants to experiment with block designs, yet I don't have the facility to produce one, so if MaskedGeek is offering, I might very well take him up on it.
I think you might have misconstrued MaskedGeek's purpose here: beyond the Al vs Cu theory, there is a business aspect, and what I see is that Jon (MaskedGeek) is doing some market research, to get an idea of the number and type of customers who would go for Aluminium blocks. He's already outlined his business plan, which is to produce Al blocks, and he's going to redirect the profits to acquire the necessary tools to produce Copper blocks.
It all sounds good to me!
Jon, if it's of any interest, I might go for an acrylic prototype, so that I can test flow paths, and look into milling challenges. The block wouldn't be of any use otherwise.
