structurally speaking, a weaker wall...

concrete block is really the formwork for the high strength grout fill.

CMU block is rated at 150 psi
Grout is rated at 5000 psi

This is why you cannot use hollow masonry block walls for design

Surface area increases and number of joints go up.

Apart from that, your question is not clear to me.
