Thats good. Keep the faith, rad swaps are easy and rads are dirt cheap. Even I can do 2.5 a day, I am not a plumber and absolutely detest plumbing!
Total and complete madness! Better would have been to leave the upstairs rads, make the downstairs ones bigger if there is room, and drop FT, or just...
