The Carbontex system has one distinct advantage in that it prevents saltwater intrusion into the drag washers. Salt buildup on the drag stack will cause your reel to start sticking during a fight which could result in a lost fish. The grease used with the Carbontex washers help to prevent this and provide an overall smoother drag performance.
Some people have actually reported a small loss of drag when upgrading, but nothing significant. A few pounds of drag pressure lost on a reel that can put out 44lbs won't be missed.
