so its a no brainer in which block to pick.

Bundy you need standoff's on your blocks, or a lot of people on this forum WONT buy them.

We went though nightmares with the EK blocks not having standoff's, so a lot of people arent gonna repeat that mistake. Eddie even made revisions with standoff's but unfortunately, there not perfect and still giving a lot of people problems.
I believe some had problems, because of tightening the screws too much, until the bent PCB touched the block.
I believe we have to take this into our account so even the most unexperienced users can mount it easily.
So EK has started implementing standoffs into the products. Starting with 4870 GS and continuing with Acetal standoffs at 295/285/260(55nm) that can be used or not, depending to the user wishes. But I can say the experienced user can mount the block without standoff with better result.

This is the picture how the standoffs work:
