Pasco WA.
It'll be interesting to see how the drydown compares. I run a 2550 and an HW 320. Both with 16' 2300 series headers. A large grower in the area has a farm across the road. He runs Hesston rotarys wit the double conditioneers. So far this year his hay has been taking a day longer to dry than mine. However AI feel that most of that is due to raking management. For sure he is no faster though. From what I can see the key to drydown is an even swath with no thick spots. The smoother and more evem the swath the faster the drydown. Seems to be more important than the type of rolls to me. I like the job the NH swathers do, I just wish they were more durable. The local NH dealer has a very good parts stock though. He should though given that NH has 90% of the local swather market.

Say high to Archie for me. His granddaughters are in our 4H club.
