"Bluff" Boattail VS "Conical" (Basjoos)

Congrats on the great results, your thorough engineering paid off.

I do have a question through: Is it still more effiecient to go full conical VS bluff boattail? I understand that lengthening your vehicle out and reducing the tail cross sectioning does happen with both, but how much more efficient could it be with the full tail?

BTW, I'm not raining on your parade, I just want to know for my own design purposes (I drive a box on wheels.... enough said). I really don't want to go all the way through the design process and have to rethink everything in the end.
