What I'm most looking to see come out of this and other topics regarding testing is that those members here who are already started down the road to being good testers will push forward and do so.

Reviewing of the RBX so far, as opposed to real testing, has shown nothing concreate as far as how well this new block will perform vs the White Water, Slit Edge and Cascade. Yet on a number of differant forums I now see the RBX being talked of as the new top block. That's BS. It hasn't even been tested well enough to say it's the new "best bang for the bucks block". The Slit Edge & White Water (with it's now reduced prices) have a better claim to the "best bang for the bucks block" than does the RBX. And while the Cascade hasn't had a real bench testing, it's been shown to improve enough systems performance's for users who also had a White Water prior to the Cascade to lay claim to the top perfornace slot.

The RBX SHOULD perform pretty well based on it's design, but that does not mean it is able to exceed the performance of these other 3 top shelf blocks by any means.

The 2 reviews posted so far end up as more of a marketing boost for Danger Den than they are accurate and factual.

pH,

I hope you will test the above named blocks as soon as you can get to it. 2 of them would give a good cross comparison with BillA's and the Slit Edge will even allow a cross check with JoeC's test bed. And the Cascade and RBX have never been run through a real bench testing to determine how high the performance is with any ACCURATE DATA ! ! While the Cascade has dozens of reports of performance that it is above all others, it would still be really nice to see accurate data indicating just what that margin of higher performance is.

Note:

I'm glad to see that Danger Den is providing extra pads with the RBX. Would have been better had the RBX been made with wide enough "fingers" to use the original pads properly as they would, being set farther apart, offer a bit better balancing of the block on the die. But adding in these extra pads does show Danger Den is once agiain quick to react to such a need in one of it's products.
