I dont know about the performance issue with lexan, but I do know that the probability of a leaking block are much greater as the lexan is usually glued on with some special adhesive. I would much prefer a solid copper block with the top soldered on. There was a post here a while back about a Danger Den Maze 2 block that was made specially for someone with a lexan top. There was a leak where the lexan met the copper even after using a special glue that set for 7 days.

I am not referring to a leak in the first weeks of use, rather a leak that will happen over extended periods of time.
