Watercooling a TJ11

I'm planning/hoping to use the new XSPC AX range of rads. Them or the multiport EX ones. Neither of which are in stock at the minute.
Could you an RX or SR-1 up top on the exhaust, but think I'd like to keep all my rads the same.

When you say double quad in the bottom I take it you don't mean 2 x 480mm rads?

Also, I'm debating whether to get the full cover block for my R IV E. Flow rate is a concern though, expcially if you have 2 MCP pumps as they're supposed to be betterthan D5s in restrictive loops aren't they?
 
My concern in both cases is how easy it will be to get to the 'speed' dial.

I appreciate that once I've found the speed/noise ratio I'm happy with I probably wont be adjusting them much, but still, doesn't hurt to keep my options open.

Of course the fact that they both mean mounting the pumps in the 5.25" bays means they'll both annoy the hell out of me anyway, but I see very few other options with the TJ11.

Other than the fact that the XSPC one means I pay OcUK more money :) are there any reasons for picking the XSPC one? Does it vibrate the case less? Is it less prone to leaking (I've heard/experienced the screw in stoppers can be prone to leaking)?

Assuming I go for the XSPC, that's the radiators and pumps decided on. Just need to decide on the graphics cards and blocks now. I'm thinking I might get another WindForce 3X 670 if I can find one cheap and put some XSPC or Aquacomputer blocks on them. My other option is to sell the 2 I have and get 3 EVGA ones and either XSPC or Aquacomputer blocks. The main benefit of the EVGA cards would be that I could use them in the TJ11 with stock coolers. Also they have a 4GB option if I'm greedy.

It could become a nearly 100% XSPC WC build if it wasn't for the fact that I have an EK Supreme HF cpu block (completely unused, so don't want to ditch/upgrade it)!
