I was fiddling around with blocks yesterday, trying to find a decent one out of several we have, not overly successfully.
Anyway, sticking my finger down the inlet of a standard block (like you do) from the valve side, reveals the nasty pocket and step next to / behind the stud web. I did wonder if filling that with plastic metal would be advantageous?
Some of this is cut away and opened out with big valves, but far from all of it.
looking at Stuarts lovely block above, its amazing how much can be removed from the short side (top) to produce a nice radius where there is a nasty sharp edge as standard.
