I made a pretty good pale ale with a tin of Cascade Pale Ale, 1kg malt, 25g Cascade hops and SAFale04 yeast.
I haven't tried the Black Rock tins but I reckon the Cascade Pale Ale tin is better than the Coopers one.

My favourite easy pale ale so far is:
Coopers Pale Ale
1kg LDME
150g Crystal malt, cracked, steeped
100g Carapils, cracked, steeped
12g Goldings @15 minutes
kit yeast
5L boil, topped up to 23L.
I have the exact opposite opinion on the relative merits of the Pale Ale brands.

These brews would be very nice, but not a clone of commercial CPA because of the hops used. Am I right in saying that they use POR for flavour as well as bittering?

Yes, PoR is the only hop used I believe, but it's used pretty sparingly all round really.

Cooopers kit
1kg brew enhancer 2

I've just finished harvesting my PoR hop plant and should have enough to do an all grain Coopers Pale clone with fresh hop flowers!!

I will be cheating a bit however....I have an American Amber ale finishing primary right now - its being fermented by a blend of US-56 and Wyeast 2112 California Steam beer yeast and when I rack the amber out of the fermenter, I'll dump the fresh coopers pale wort on the yeast cake, stand back and let 'er rip!!
Repitching - a great way to guarantee almost zero lag and excellent ferments!!
Cheers,
