The block is merely one part of the equation. Like watches--you need to look at what's inside. That's where a good portion of the money goes when a motor like this is being put together. Don't really see the damn block from the top anyway--and you sure as hell don't see the crank, pistons, etc.--just like you don't see the works of a watch unless you have a display back (hey--your analogy).
Me--no real flashy pieces on the outside--it's all in the inside. The only reasons I went with with the arruminum block were weight and the cooling aspects--availability also played a part. Don't know about SOs--originality is important for some and well worth it if it makes them happy IMHFO.
