    well I can't speak for everybody but i'll speak for myself

    1) cost. thats 2 blocks and 1 set of ramsinks your paying for.. it will total over 100 bucks and the ramsinks cost about 13-15 bucks for the MC14s

    2) two separate blocks means 2 ins and 2 outs. more unnecessary tubing/restriction..

    The EK block looks like a redesigned FC79

    Maybe but unlike a EK, you can just update one of the parts separately instead of tossing all and get a full new set.

    I agree, I have one on my way for my 8800GTS. I'm just stating the reason of Gabe's choice.
