I've been using both blocks this week on the Chevelle hood with 80 and 180 paper to finish before 2K. I didn't get a picture after finishing with the poly primer blocking, but I really like the boards. I never even picked up my AFS 22" to compare. I did an X pattern sand along the radius sections of the hood using the edge of the board and had no issues with possible gouging with noted sharp edges. I try to stay away from using my round Dura-Block for this.
My biggest concern is the AFS block at 22"has a higher crown in the middle and how much hand placement and pressure affect the block sanding surface. I would think that the slightly thicker polycarbonate would be better than the thin stainless.
This is a 64 Fairlane I did with the AFS. I remember being very light with pressure on the board with 80 grit.
