The old Valeo radiator I took out of my W210 with MB star on it has extremely fine cooling fins and the Nissens I put in is what my W124 BEHR OE radiator looks like with regular wide separated cooling fins.

Both radiators show the exact same behaviour in 105F weather in Houston. If the core dimensions are similar the cooling potential is the same. Whilst I was shopping around I came across a Mexican made radiator (pacific something) which was designed like the Valeo part but was about 1/2 inch thinner. I think that would not be good.
