At long last, the sheaves in my genoa lead blocks are starting to fail. I have noticed a style change in the way the blocks and cars are attached. There is what I perceive as an older free standing type block on a spring base versus a low profile block that is attached to the car so it can flop side to side but not twist quite like the spring base type. I guess I'm looking for feedback on how the new styles work versus what I've got. Here are what the two things I am thinking of look like:

and sideways flip flopping base:
