Default Advice on Bends again

OK, so I've done some research but being from non-tube bending stock I still need some advice as there are no stock bends in Darwin I can look at.

Is a flush fit a simple as trying to find a combination of bends that have a difference in the centre line radius, the same as the tube diameter that I am using.

For example - Centre Line Radius of 56mm and 100mm gives me a 44mm difference.
The diameter of 1.75 inch pipe is 44.45mm so it should be almost perfect.

Am I missing something, just want to make sure before I buy a stack of mandrel bends that look crappy.

Thanks again.
