I guess I haven't given much thought to the volume differance, good point 
especially on such a small boiler.  Even with the cross tubes the single 
flue will have much less heating surface then the seven 1/4" flues, less 
than half if I figured it correctly.  Would it be worth the trade-off?  I 
don't mind the extra work, this is practice for the boiler I need to make 
for the G1MRA Project which will likely be a JVR B style.
