Personally, I have not needed to change the alloy block on the Point Classic Trem,
and on a Club Marquee made in 2000.
What made it more efficient was shortening the trem arm and getting the springs set up
to make the bridge flat and the trem block just protruding out about 5 mm all round.
With that adjustment for 11-48 strings, there is fairly good trem dip.
Certainly before adjustment it was a stiff b-g--r!!!
The arm pushes in well and pivots and holds position and no thread wobble either.
Not sure however if later steel blocks are interchangeable, someone else may know
more on upgrades?
