The RDS drag is a very intriguing innovation, one that I too have considered but not taken further than just a thought. It utilizes an entirely different concept rather than this incessant development-inside-the-box thinking we have now.
The man behind it is a very capable individual; it isn't just a newfangled gizmo. I think it has been somewhat misunderstood though-- it does nothing to adjust or compensate for line level on the spool. The graph depicted above demonstrates a nice flattish curve over time, but I think the graph has been clipped somewhat... what looks like a 25% drop may rather be only a pound; there are no units of measure visible.
There are however reams of graphs and charts available on the subject; he has done quite a lot of work on it. Whether or not it is so great in the long run, remains to be seen. I just appreciate the innovative thinking.
Re carbon fiber as per HT-100 being as good, yes, quite possibly. wet or dry.
