It doesn't look like it'd be that good for TEC tbh, although I could be wrong, and we won't know for sure until we know the dimensions.
My main worry would be that with a circle or oval, you would need a circle with a diameter equal to the distance from corner to corner of the TEC, ot there would be parts of the TEC that were not covered by the area the water can flow.
This would mean a circle 56mm across for a 40x40 TEC, not accounting for heatspreading anyway.
Thats pretty damn big, and this block doesn't look that large to me.
I'm sure they've thought of this though.

Dunno about you lot but anyone THAT bothered about squeezing every last ounce out of a TEC would either have gone phasechange buy now or wouldn't settle fer anything less than a custom/home built block. For a prefab tec block it's probably just as good as the rest of the offerings within a degree or two.
It's only real commercial equivalent in the same sort of league in terms of company reputation and longevity within the scene would be the Swiftech... and I seriously doubt there'd be THAT much difference between the two.
With regards the clamping, if it uses more screws around the tec then the clamping is guaranteed to be able to be applied more accurately and evenly than a block with only 4 screws. I think that is more the point... but in the end it's all down to the competence of the person fitting the tec. Whether a 4 screw clamp or a 20 screw clamp, if the user only does up 75% of em in either case then it's his problem (just for a daft example)
Jus my opinion... will let you know how the Maze4-1 performs tho when I get one in a week or two to compare to my Maze3-1.... not expecting anything more than a 2 degree improvement over a 24hr continuous load... cos expecting any more than that would just be plain daft unless a mad manufacturin miracle had been discovered to majorly improve performance over any other commercial offering.
