Small designer radiator

I am looking for a (not so expensive) designer radiator for my small bathroom.
I only need 600 x 600 and like the flat panel ones or the oval tube ones. The BTU are the same on both and wondered if anyone knew if one design was better than the other.

I have the basic Finn at the back type radiator at the moment and wondered if these new type would not kick as much heat out as there are gaps in between the tubes / panels.

    You cancheck the BTU of your type of radiator too. That's what's going to give you an answer.

    White radiators have a higher BTU than chrome ones, so consider that too. The same style can be more/less efficient in different colours.

    I have a white 4 column rad in the bathroom which I think looks quite nice.
    I would over specify the BTU because you will probably want to hang towels on or above.
