I would disagree on this point. The Dart block is a lot stronger, and I kind of like the idea of additional strength. Have I needed it? IDK, maybe. But I like to overbuild things. I feel better when I beat on it, knowing it's a stronger part.

Also, I managed to do this about a year ago. Took less than a week and less than $150 to repair. If it had been a stock block, I would have been looking for another one.
