Looking at the link that BigBen gave I like the change he made to the base, this has to be stronger by a fair margin compared to his earlier design. And I like the adjustible feature he's added and he pointed out in a response to a question about it being higher than the tops of the fins, with some high pressure pumps haveing a small gap gives improved performance, while no gap works best with low flow/pressure pumps. Seems reasonable to me as that would allow a higher flow but one that would be highly turbulant.

I am left with one question though. Will this block work with pelts? The higher number of fins which give a wider cooling area than with the White Water might allow this, but I'm not sure. If so this would be a added plus for those who are into pelts. Anyone know if it can handle pelts? That would be the best reason I can see for the wider flow path.

Be interesting to see how the performance compares with other blocks on the market like the Maze 3 from Danger Den or the TC-4. In one of his posts he mentioned ordering a TC-4 for comparison. I'd be interested to hear how they compared.
