Being from Minnesota I'm surprised you don't have block all over your yard - isn't MN the birthplace of a lot of block mfg's?
To the issue at hand - I prefer solid block to cored block, mainly because of the design and installation flexibility it gives you when it comes to corners, tight curves, meeting other structures, etc. For reference, I believe there is only one supplier of this kind of block in our area, and they are no longer offering the block due to lack of sales (Jason - correct me if I'm wrong here).
Also, having to fill in the cores is a labor drain.
So it's not that I dislike the product, I just have other preferences. In my area, there's a local supplier that makes a good cored block (Jason?....), Keystone makes some nifty stuff, as does Unilock and Versa-Lok. I guess I'd choose any one of those before Allan Block. But that's just my $.02.
