got sent to me with the block.
looks like 150W at 32v elements, from the writings on the side.
they are 2" (51mm) long and
1/4" thick.... (6mm)
If the block is properly insulated, I highly doubt it to make much difference where the elements are going to be located. it's basically going to be one big-ass chunk of very hot copper, with only one little thermal pathway out.... Reason I Keep the elements close to the core seat, is to eliminate as much lag between induced heat and resultant temp difference in the measurements. All the heat coming in through the wires, will eventually have to go out through the seat, no other way...
When the rig is in balance, it would be easy to quantify the amount of heat being moved through the seat, and at what temperature this occurs. and that's all the variables required, If I'm not mistaken...
