what makes you think the curve for Dtek Spir@l would be any different ?

did not ask 'could', used 'would'

please explain

a HUGE part of 'the problem' is the naive belief that each wb creation is unique and represents a new solution blah blah blah

you have a lot of posts here, you see no pattern (about the wbs, eh) ?
you still thinking that each bit of copper's placement opens a new dimension of Physics ?
suggestion: do some grouping, 'optimize' each group, compare -> generalize for a set of 'known facts'

BTY, the spiral in those results is the Cooltech; but a Spir@l is quite the same as the TC-4 - both are labyrinths of similar size and respond similarly
Ok, I guess you were addressing nikhsub in the first part...

Do you honestly believe that the performance of the spiral is similar to the TC-4? I mean, ok, it's probably close to the TC-4, but you're talking about a spiral versus a Z-type channel block, then you point out that the spiral (above) is the Cooltech, but it's significantly (?) offset in your graph. What gives?

Honestly, what I see is that all the new block (except for the odd crappy exception) have similar performances, and yield the same results, within 2 to 3 deg C, but I haven't paid too close attention to it all.

I'd love to take the time to categorize the blocks out there. Off hand, there's the maze types (like DDs Mazes and TC-4), the spirals (like Dtek), the plain-and-simple (Swiftech, #rotor) and the odd ones (Innovatech). Seems like the pyramids (a la gone_fishin)are stirring up in the homemades, but haven't made a commercial appearance.

This categorization might appear to be based on looks, but I'm sure that if I put some thinking in it, I could justify that it's by flow type. Maybe I'll write an article about it, are you interested in this?
