My only complaint is on a piston with a big dish, the big dish goes real close to the edge and don't give you much quench area, even with a magnum head and double quench, the surface area of quench is pretty small. Flat top mahle pistons remind me of the pistons in an F1 engine. I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
