I am a chemist; not an engineer :P

I'd be happy to test a block from aquajoe but I am feeling a bit trepidicious about taking blocks from mfgrs direct after hearing that sometimes they are not representative of typical end user performance. I HAVE had a double standard by starting with a Swiftech block then; that did come out of a complete kit that was sent by them. I'll try and get a retail Swiftech block eventually to test for comparison. I was interested in starting with tests of the MC5000-A because I knew Bill had good data with which I could compare.
