    Have a 1LW that is tired. Want to build a replacement so I can just swap it. Have enough E models that it would be good to have a spare anyways.

    What is the strongest block to start with? 1LW/5DS/2WS/1MM?

    Or are the lighter structured blocks actually stronger?

    I want to stay 40 pin - do the newer blocks still have the provision for the timing calibration probe? If not, when did they quit?
