What I look at is...when I'm done with it, who will buy it? How many iron block series/classes are there?

The other thing I wonder about...so you run good with an iron block and decide to be more competitive. Now, you gotta go buy all new stuff (meaning alum block).

I ran iron blocks back when the aluminum blocks had to bolt on 50 # weights. It didn't take much of a crack and they were junk. I've seen/had alum blocks that had the bottom end blown out. All repairable and ran fine.

I appreciate trying to give the low buck guy a place to go, but it seems reasonable to me to have a set of rules where everyone can participate on an even level.

Good for discussion.
