And I have zero regrets.
Plus you have authenticity with the 40 year old block. Genesis is still heavy, has all of those issues and you don't get the authenticity. If you want iron/authenticity, go with the NOS block. If you want new, go with the aluminum and save the weight. I don't see why you'd go with Genesis except for cost reasons - and in that case, stay with the 428 block you already have.
