FYI, if the channels are 3/32" wide then they only need to be 400 mils tall to have the same cross sectional area as the inside of a 1/2" fitting. Even if you go down to 1/16" wide channel, you only need them to be 600 mils tall to maintain that cross sectional area.

As with most things in life, there's a trade off involved between opposing factors. In this case it's flow restriction, surface area, and block height.
