I currently have hydronic floor heating in one room in my house. I am renovating another room right now and it will have hydronic floors added and I'll continue renovations and adding the hydronic floors.

The problems with high heat systems is high energy loss (lower efficiency). If you can keep the heat lower you can gain a lot more with less panel area. That is actually one reason why hydronic flooring is so great. Properly designed, you can get away with using much cooler water than a radiator would need to heat the same area.
