MMZ's got it right: it's unecessarily restrictive.
As I described it recently on OC, Radius has a "flow balancer", in the form of the top plate. It's purpose is to balance the flow radially, because the design needs it: Cascade doesn't. Cathar tested one outlet versus two outlet and saw no difference.
So the only purpose for doing that here, is strictly aesthetic. Cathar won't do it, because it's not worth the time and effort, as it would only add to the price.
You have to remember one thing only: once the coolant has done its double inpingement at the bottom of the "cup", it really doesn't matter what happens to it, or what state it's in: it just needs to leave the block.
Don't let the above stop you from trying it though!
