Oh I can't resist this.  I don't have any absolute numbers, but I can tell 
you (relatively speaking) that the model on the left has a lower drag 
coefficient than the model on the right:

By the way, I enlarged the blower fan for the one on the left (not shown in 
the photo)... it will have a 52" diameter, vertically mounted (cough) 
3-bladed "fan" that should satisfy even Rad Davis's cooling requirements.
