I'm gonna agree that there probably isn't a real large difference. However, you'd have to look at specific applications and make the best educated guess you can. Its all going to depend on the grill and shape of the front end. If you have a hugely recessed grill, then its probably much better to make a block that completely eliminates the recessed cavity vs just a block that goes over the front of the grill. In the case of my Matrix and its lower grill, I'm still debating if its worth the hassle of doing a flush mount, or just put it behind. I'll post that info in my arduino grill block thread most likely.
