@Colonel Panic I would avoid anything fancy or 'designer'. Traditional radiators are the way they are because that's basically the most efficient way to do it. The claimed output of designer radiators will be based on a flow rate that you'll never achieve and a very high flow temperature.
@rikur_ true, it isn't all bad news. I am now happy with my system except for the fact that the pump is working very hard and I'm concerned it'll fail prematurely. @Flyin'Dutch' it shouldn't clog up as long as it isn't left without inhibitor for any length of time. If it is pumped hard (as it usually needs to be) there are arguments that it is actually less susceptible to clogging than 15mm because of the higher water velocity.
