    Is there any down side to 6" OC spacing in a concrete slab install besides extra tube cost? Even though 6"oc is not needed.

    More manifold ports!

    more ties :) Less space for concrete :)

    Seriously though, 6" OC will make for a nice even floor temperature spread. Probably quicker response. Possibly lower supply temperatures. What diameter tube will you use. 6" OC loop ends with 1/2 can be a challange. 3/8 will require shorter loop lengths and more loops and manifold ports.
