Not an apples and apples comparison.
I am operating with severe constraints. Ease the constraints and I'll show you better temps than that. Alternatively slap my constraints on him and he'll suffer a bit more on the temps.
I can assure you, ceteris paribus, that a serial setup American style with ultra high flow will perform better than a parallel setup German style on an apples to apples basis.
Is the German style parallel setup an acceptable compromise for convenience and appearances? That's up to the respective individual.
Does it work? Of course it does. It works well, just not as well as the American serial style ultra high flow setup, that's all.
I'm not into peeing contests and they bore me.
