Correct brake hoses for Saint M810

Got an old set of Saint brakes - the M810. Need new hoses as one got seriously kinked and the other got serious deep grinding spots that's gonna leak sooner or later.
The stock BH-80 hoses seems to be out of stock everywhere - so I am looking for a replacement.
Prefer to work with Shimano standard hoses, but I'm willing to use Goodridge/Superstar etc. if necessary.
The BH-90 SB hose in the variation with the short banjo bolt seems to be the only Shimano hose available that should should work, or at least fit the caliber.
I am aware that the barbed insert is a smaller diameter, but it should be provided with the BH90 brake hose kit. And the external diameter should be same, so no problem with fitting the brake handle.
Now - since the internal diameter of the BH90 has a slightly smaller inside diameter (ID) to previous ones like BH80 - I am wondering if the brakes will work as good as before? The flow may be different (in theory!)?
Any hands on experience out there ?
The Saint M810 brakes are still in great shape and is way to great a brake to be ditched yet!
Cheers,

Will fit, in theory you may notice a slower responce, in practice, not. Goodrich do a larger ID pin if you want.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
