Anyways, I have some questions I want to throw out there.

I was looking at using my DD Fat Boy fittings on this block. I use them everywhere else in my system, and they work well, especially where there is a chamfered edge for the o-ring to reside in. The Apogee XT does not provide that chamfered edge.

I am mostly concerned about the o-ring because it just seems to bulge out, and the fitting doesn't get tight against the block, metal to metal.
I ordered the XT and those fittings, still waiting for them to arrive though. So let us know how everything worked out with the leak testing
