The pressure contour map is the same as what an airfoil is(like if you put an airfoil next to those two cd maps you'd see the flow tendencies over the back of the concavity is the exact same smooth hugging without any complex vacuum or suction schemes.)
The only advantage I can see is you can kind of create the shape you want and then apply this technique for "free"(using air intake or some other naturally occuring engine process(by natural I mean something that it does under normal circumstances)).
Other than that I'm sticking with my foil-prism for my custom build CF sketches.
