How restrictive are angled fittings?

[SuporterPoli]

Because the only way to use "big" tubing like 1/2" ID on some waterblocks with compression fittings is the angled fitting i am putting out the following question:
How restrictive are angled fittings? 45 or 90degrees from Bitspower lets say.
So something like this:

in a loop with a big radiator,2gpus,mobo,cpu,res,2pumps(mcp355).
Should i resign and use barbs or switch to smaller id tubing?
Example of a small block:

The only restriction is your imagination. Use them creatively ;)

I have the bitspower 90 degree rotary's above and they work great. Haven't done any math, but I don't think I lost flow after adding them. I am using 2 on my GTZ, 2 on my NB-MAX, 1 on my res, and have a few more for when I add MOSFET's. They def helped make my set-up look sleeker. I was going for straight line tubing. Its tough, but very doable. They also helped on my NB block as 2 compression fittings wouldn't have fit with out them.

bitspower barbs can't be used on mips blocks.

Whys that mate?

what is a MIPS block? Seen the term around, yet cant find a meaning. Assuming its another term for a NB block?

Ahhh, I see. BP barbs are still kinda wide, which probably means the BP 90 degree rotary adapter may not fit, even when they are back to back. I see what eddie was saying.

No rotaries in the above pictures as far as my noob wc knowledge is extending:D. Just plain old fixed ones.
