It's not their best work no. I like it when they combine copper and shiny silver.
If my blocks ever crack (that's the only thing left to worry about) then I would like a metal one. I've actually got one here that I wouldn't mind making a new top for (it has three holes but they're sloped for older fittings).
Not that its the place to discuss here, but I don't think I have ever come across news of blocks of today cracking when made of Acetal. You need some serious high PSI to do that now.
