Which do you think will be faster? Go to closed course on still day. Testing time. Perform 3 laps of 2 mile oval negating wind and elevation change. Test each helmet at 250 watts against the clock with a power meter. Identify the fastest helmet. Greater reliability? Repeat.
Which helmet are you going to bring to race day if the race isn't long and 100 degrees?
No R Chung method. Number of grams saved of drag even if can even be measured reliability isn't relevant. You want the fastest helmet.
Holy ****, that is basically the RChung method, down to the using a loop to negate elevation change.
