Ones 6mm and others 8mm. Think microbore is 6mm.

I believe microbore hose is 6mm ID and minibore is 8mm ID. You will get less flow through the 6mm so depends how you clean, as some want very little flow ie backpack/trolley users, personally I prefer a alot of flow so I use 8mm. HTH.

Surely you can adjust the pressure/flowrate via a Varistream or the like?

You can adjust the flow rate with a varistream, at least you can with my old version.
