Do Victorian radiators give out more heat?

A cast iron radiator will give out far more heat than a modern steel equivalent. Steel tends to emit a blast of heat in a short space of time whereas cast iron, although will take a little longer to reach temperature, will gently radiate an ambient heat over a much longer period, even after your boiler is switched off.

Are steel radiators efficient?
