I've tried to find 5/8" quick connects with no luck. 1/2" quick connects can be had but hard to find. With barbs, i'm not talking about total length of the water path. With the normal 1/2" hose barbs you have a total of 1 foot, 2 inch path that is actually 3/8"ID compared to the 1/2"ID tubing. What I'm getting at, is removing that 1 foot, 2 inches of 3/8"ID restriction. By removing that 1 foot, 2 inches of 3/8" restriction, I would get the same amount of flow as if I used the 7/16" tubing. If your using 3/8" ID tubing like me, that equates to 1 foot 2 inches of 1/4"ID restriction. In my case it's a bit more than that though.
Like I said, Swiftech does it for a reason.
