When Ben asked for glass, it make me clear that he prefer a transparent material; so my point was that the block could easily be made strong enough to use plastics for the top.

This too was my original contention. And if I were any more relaxed I might soil myself!

As for the added complications in the machining stage, they are by far compensated if machining a copper top can be avoided.
Further simplifications of the model can be made when using a plastic top. The o-ring channel can be eliminated and use that silicone film sealant someone mentioned. Even more, it could be used silicone adhesive and eliminate the need of bolts. It can give the block a cleaner look and avoid hole taping. I think this is ok with the KISS concept

But this does not correlate with the KILL concept (Keep it looking 'L33t).
