How much, honestly i have no idea. I'm just confident that it *will* help as the effect can only be positive.

Of course yes. But the distribution of flow (i.e. the overall picture) won't change, center tubes will get most of it, though the minimal flow will be higher. It depends a lot on channel geometry, their size vs inlet / outlet sizes etc.
There won't be any balance even with an Iwaki. And in any case he won't be using 100% of the rads capacity. With an iwaki though, things will be pretty close to 100% as most rads (according to Bill's data) do not benefit much from uber high flows.
