At this stage of the game, the TIM joint is the single most critical factor in extracting the best performance out of high end blocks, and 90% of users out there are getting short changed if they don't have a reliable and repeatable mounting system.
This is one of the reasons that I chose the GTZ for my latest block. The mounting mechanism is fantastic and it is a no-brainer when it comes to tightening. Before I used a pocket "mm" rule to measure from the mounting plate to the top of each knurled nut and hoped I had the rule in exactly the same place on the mounting plate. The extra large knurled nuts also make tightening a breeze.
