    Nice review. It will be great if you can make a review of S24. 🙂 This one is really nice product, only thing that i notice is that bracket does not have holes for a different sockets, just slider like hole where you can move screws to fit. Does the block tend to move a lot during instalation? Particulary interested in mounting it on a 1150 socket.
