Herbie Drain Question.

I have a db 80 and Ive started to switch over to the Herbie system. My question is how much flow am I going to loose switching to the 3/4 inch line as the drain? I will have an mp10 and mp40 in the tank for power heads. Just want to make sure Ill have enough flow though the sump.
