"....the air traped in the upper regions and has to be blown DOWN by the pump, through the tubes to the res. Now the pump isn't generating enough flow to blow the bubbles down to the res. the bubbles will continue to rise."
Agreed, this is the problem, more so than the pump. Can you not relocate the res to be the high point in your system, or at least at equal levels to the rads? This would solve the trapped air problem for good.
Might also look at the Atlantis block, will give higher flow & performance than the maze two or a swifttec I think. And as you're in europe you won't have to pay the shipping toll I'm going to get hit with to have one. Atlantis has 10.5mm ID barbs from what I read.
