30% of the TEC surface appears to have to cooling above it. This doesn't seem to shout out as a tec cooling block.... am I missing something?

No you can't put a TEC with anything. It has to be designed to mount a cold plate to that can have the required clamping force to properly transfer heat. Which they did with the Maze4. How well it works is anyone's guess untill they tried it. DD probably tested it themselfs and where satisfied with it, or maybe not. Just the fact that the bolt pattern on this block is better and is capable of spreading the load and appling more clamping force may put it ahead of the older Maze blocks even with less cooling surface area.
Pulled this from AMDMB:

"The questions are out about the MAZE4...Yes a handful of our distributors do have the new MAZE4 block. The Danger Den site will have it listed within a week. This block does offer improvements over the MAZE3 - Less water flow restriction, improved peltier clamping, lighter block design, better cooling, improved look, and more. A socket hold down version will not be available for a few weeks."
