Venting short take off to radiators

Approximately 8' to 10' of 1.25" piping to radiators with the exception of the upstairs which are 15' long. Question is this, would it be worth installing T's and a vent to purge the air out of them? I'm thinking this might be more of a personal preference? If anything maybe the runs to the second floor might be worth doing. The shorter runs maybe a more aggressive vent on the rad itself? Thoughts?

Personally I wouldn't bother. Not enough air in there to make much difference. A multistory -- four or five story -- bigger riser might be top vented, though to advantage.Br. Jamie, osb

@Jamie Hall my thoughts exactly. Seems like more effort for no gain! Merry Christmas!0

@Danny Scully no sir I do not, is this something I should think about? Although to be honest its nice and toasty in my daughter's room and spare bedroom upstairs.0
