Are all auto siphons created equal? So pissed

I plan for 5.25 gallons in the fermentor. Two reasons. I want left over beer in the primary to cover the harvested yeast and to have only 48 bottles to fill 2 cases. I don't use a secondary so volume loss with this transfer doesn't figure in.

An extra one-half gallon for a 5 gallon recipe is 9% by volume. This would be your dilution. Would it really be noticeable? Maybe not.

if you move from 5 to 5.5 gallon, you can basically just add 10% extra and you don't have to worry too much, scaling only really changes when moving up a lot due to efficiencies etc.

Using brew toad it barely effects FG and IBUs, mostly OG. But the scale option is nice. If I ever plan on secondary I will make use of it. Thank you!

Edit: I'm doing partial mash BIAB for my next brew, but have an extract kit. Will probably continue with partial mash and BIAB complete mash as my equipment allows.
