CSQ versions have the circle design pattern on them. It's purely an aesthetic difference and down to personal preference.

This block is CSQ and this one isn't.

The evo blocks are their "premium" blocks. The MX blocks are more budget oriented. The few supremecy LTX blocks are their last gen budget blocks.

The evo blocks differ by the materials they are made of and this affects their appearance. However I think that the different types of metal (nickel, copper, gold) are just plating over a copper core. Someone else will correct me if I am wrong.

ok, I was a bit wary over the types of metal on the blocks!
