    The issue isn't so much accuracy of blocks, but re-creating the patient anatomy. That's not a comparison that any other company can make. Sure, you want to make sure things are accurate when using PSI, but as the all-knowing poster said, MRI vs CT, full length X-ray, etc., it is hard to draw broad sweeping conclusions from any of the studies. Then there are those Stryker loyalists who bash it because they don't have it in their arsenal, and come up with studies showing how costly it is with no return. Even if you take the second article quoted above, it shows less trays, and that is cost savings in and of itself.
    But, you are both missing the point here, that a patient-specific implant is the special sauce here, and the blocks are just a way to get there. A symmetric knee is a symmetric knee, and instrumentation and poly is about all you can discuss when selling to surgeons.
