Long Haired,

If I am not mistaken you made the calculations using two 1/2 wye's. If i do go parallel I will only be using one 1/2 wye and each rads outlet will have a dedicated line to the reservoir. Additionally, i will be using 7/16 tubing which should reduce the lip's effect on flow, correct? Taking the above into account this would probably reduce the difference between serial and parallel making them even more comparable, correct? Thanks for your input guys.

If you did mean only one wye then sorry i misunderstood you. Anyway from your simulator and most peoples comments it seems like it isnt gonna change things by much so ill probably just plumb whichever way is easier.
