Of course a little bit is lost because of the restriction the internal edges hoses have (yes, I know that sounds confusing), but AFAIK there are much better candidates for 'Flow Killer 2005'.
Sorry for my English. I'm always confused about how to express myself when I'm talking 'scientifically'.
Maybe in this case '(b)rim' is a better word instead of 'internal edge'?

component height is irrelevant in an inline/sealed/loop system.
only matters for something like a bong setup.
This about it - while the pump may be "pushing" water up to the radiator, say, it also gets a "boost" when the same water "falls" back down to the pump. This balances out, so net head loss from varying heights of components is nada.
