PEEK tubing

Is there any difference in peak or HPLC performances between 0.02" ID PEEK tubing against 0.018"? First ones are cheaper, from Thermo, and the others from Agilent. Any known differences?

In a standard HPLC system with standard column ID there should be no difference.
With 2mmID or less columns and a small flow cell volume it could affect peak shape a little bit. Try the 0,02''.
