The fins are very carefully proportionned, so that the fin width and the channel width fall within a set ratio. Also, your proposal includes cutting into the fins, to make them thinner.
By affecting this ratio, and by reducing the thickness of the fins, you are loosing some performance.
BUT
you might be able to gain some of it back, from the turbulence that this design is going to put into the water flow.
BTW, you can cut those channels like Morphling1 did: use a circular saw blade. It should be possible to reach even 0.2 mm, but that gets tricky.

but as you can see, in the middle part of the block i am opting to use a high water velocity and turbulance together, so i'm excluding part of cathar's principles, but i'm hoping i could get something out of this design, at least learn something, just like i did learn while designing squirrel with hara. Although i have to say that i am not expecting it to be better than ww, of course not, i'm not even trying to get that good, i'm still an amature at watercooling
on the milling part, i've been thinking about circular saw blade, but i'm will do my first one using a drill press and an xy table to see what the new drill press can do that's why i'm planning to first mill it in al, it's like cutting butter
