I don't know, GPU blocks have always been notoriously expensive. Unlike CPU blocks you need to make a new one for every card and on top of that you may need different blocks for different AIBs, so they're very low volume products, it's inevitable that they cost a lot.

I remember when the most expensive blocks would be $129. Byiski were great as most of their blocks were no more than $99 and even EK blocks were no more than $149. Phanteks has been special because their stuff was usually cheaper by some measure though they are limited in variety. Since EK in some cases doubled the cost of their blocks all of them seem to be following suit.

Granzon is Bykski's premium brand, and their prices are right there with EK.
For the same price, Ek is a clear winner.
