Both articles discuss the pros and cons of alternative rotor configurations
etc. However, they give absolutely no consideration to Active Blade Twist.

Imagine a group of Roman generals sitting at the local winery have a couple
of glass of libation. They have come from watching the gladiators at the
coliseum and are discussing the pros and cons of different sword shapes.
They are so engrossed in this discussion that the fail to give any
consideration to the little oriental person in the corner who is busy mixing
potassium chloride, sulfur and charcoal.

Active Blade Twist is the essential precursor for Generation II rotorcraft.

It is significantly beneficial for all configurations. However, the
Interleaving configuration could well become the medium/heavy lift
rotorcraft of the future, and for this configuration, Active Blade Twist is
mandatory.
