some years ago there was a long thread on here comparing 205 v 200 blocks and one of the contributors was Karl Norris. He described in detail the weak points of each and iirc was generally in favour of 205

Sorry, structural integrity has been compromised as soon as they crack.
Scrap only at that point.
