My test setup used around 3 meters (9,8 feet) of the above tubing in an open loop(sorry for not using shorter tubing, but had to avoid flooding my bathrooom :P). As you can imagine this is a significant flow restriction by itself, but here are the results.
Mora 2 vs 1/2 Laing D5
1 pump+ tubing, no rad
4,62 l/min
1,22 gal/min
2 pumps + tubing, no rad
7,06 l/min
1,86 gal/min
1 pump+ tubing, Mora 2
3,33 l/min

...Hey, still haven't received my 1/2 (12,7 mm) tubing and fittings, however I found some 12 mm tubing and some cheap PVC Fitting (which have a horrible 7 mm ID), so i did a small test until my ordered stuff arrives (hopefully still this week), again 2 D5s (this time no single pump test, next time it will also include single pump data) and again 5 Metres of Tubing.
Since one guy from a german forum wanted "realworld" results with more components, i also added a Nexxos XP Rev 2, to the loop. Ok here are the results:
2 Laing D5 vs tubing and fittings
10 l/m
2,64 gal/m
2 Laing D5 vs tubing and fittings, Mora 2
6 l/m
1,58 gal/m
2 Laing D5 vs tubing and fittings, Mora 2, Nexxos XP
4,29 l/m
1,13 gal/m
2 Laing D5 vs tubing and fittings , Nexxos XP
6 l/m
1,58 gal/m
