Actually, Sidewinder recently stopped carrying EK products altogether, they started selling off the last of their EK stock in June...after EK threatened a $10,000 lawsuit against Sidewinder for steering customers away from purchasing defective products.

... i have always loved ek products (only ever used full copper) because of their awsome performance and tbh, i have always had excellent customer service from them (though the last time i contacted them was around a year and a half ago)... that's very disappointing... i just wish other companies made quality pure copper blocks
