HWLabs GTS or EK Quantum Surface rads?

So currently have an XSPC RX360 rad but looking to get 2 more 360 rads. Overkill? Probably, will they fit? Yes

Anyway I way going to get 2 HWLabs Black Ice GTS rads but then saw the new EK rads which according to Techpowerup.com perform pretty similar but the new EK Quantum Surface rads are much less restrictive.

Rest of my loop will be D5 pump, EK Supremacy Evo and full cover gpu block.

Would the Black Ice be too restrictive? Tests seem to show them being twice as restrictive if not more than other rads despite being top performers.

Went for the Back Ice rads in the end. Figured best to stick with tried and tested performer, also managed to get two for the price of one so it was a no brainer really

Still waiting on some fittings but decided to test the flow of what will be my loop minus gpu block. Don't have a flow meter but flow seem OK to me with a single d5. I've ran two loops for the past 10 years or so unless temps are bad I guess I'll have a spare spare d5 now.
