Mod Con, Baseboard & Convectors--move the boiler?

Here's a thought.

I have a monoflow system. Boiler>>12' fin tube baseboard>>4 convectors>>16' fin tube>>boiler.

What if I move the boiler (probably not all that hard), and put all the baseboard at the start of the loop, then through the convectors & back to the boiler? Baseboard is in the living/dining room, convectors are bath, bedrooms & finally kitchen if I move it.

I'd have to reverse the system so all the monoflow valves would have to move too...

Better for heat & condensing, or not worth it?

Thanks--your expertise is awesome!

    Get a 6 port manifold with balancing valves , hit each piece of heat as a homerun and make every room comfortable .

    Why spend all that effort and money to upset something that works? You can ad a trv on each rad and convector to increase comfort for much less dollars!
