What you need to take into account, is the customer service that you will get, when you buy a block, or anything else from KB.

The customer service is second to none....PERIOD.

It may take a while to get your block, but, it is worth the wait, as you know that you are getting the finest product available. I know this firsthand.

Think about it, when considering the other options that are out there. To me, KB was a no brainer, when I wanted an aluminum block.
