Oil temperature is brought down for sure, but efficiency may less than having a single bigger oil cooler just because of the design of the oil feed and return?

I have the AR too, and I think I was in the very first group to have this.
While I did see a slight improvement, I couldn't tell hos much more efficient they were. The tracks I go to have some long fast straights. Glad to see that some have logged the temperature.
