As long as the water can circulate properly thru all of the radiator, there should be no difference.All Steamed Up, Inc.

There is a reduction up to 50 percent if not piped bottom to bottom with hot water radiators. top to bottom piping leaves a dead spot directly below the inlet that is clear with an infrared camera. I will try an find them and post them here.
Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.
