I agree that bloc Condorcet is a bad idea for multiwinner, at least if 
you want proportionality. I would support something like Ranked Pairs 
loser STV or one of the multiwinner Condorcet generalizations (Schulze 
STV, CPO-STV) instead.

The main problem with Schulze STV and CPO-STV is that if you thought 
single-winner Condorcet methods were hard to understand, you haven't 
seen nothing yet. If I remember correctly, Schulze STV's comparison 
function involves solving a linear program for each comparison.
