Steam guy suggestion

Steam guy suggests following for getting heat to problem rad. Cut supply at beginning of 3/4 run to prob rad; run 11/2 in from riser to about 8' then connect to runout(green is proposed line to run-out). Problem well documented in prior posts, to summerize, attached edr to current supply run to prob rad is 91, fed by 3/4in; as result only time prob rad heats is when one specific rad attached to one of laterals is completely turned-off. Steam guy agrees with Dan that supply pipe capacity not sufficient, but rather than replace entire line and other laterals feels it's better to go with re-pipe to other line. See scheme. What do you think?
