Default Cathar Clone

Cathar was good enought to grant me permission to make a clone of his block, with a few minor differences...

first, I'll be using 1/16 inch channels and 1/16 inch fins as opposed to 1 mm channels and 1 mm fins

I won't be making as cool of a jet-impingent block as he did, but alas it will be similar

and I've also added a center bar , as shown below to hopefuully invrease surface area and turbulence.

So now the questions:

What do you think of this block design?
Do you think I should either lower the centerbar, eleminate it completly, or make 2 smaller ones (like protruding a 32nd above the base) to increase turbulence, or what?


btw, I'm making this on a bridgeport mill with the 1/16 bit (hopefully I don't break them all!)

here's the base:
