Romy, what do you mean by "the negative curving is longer to engage"? 
The negative curving works only with very heavy clamp and it takes time/efforts to put the clamps on and to press it strongly.  It makes playing records as too much ceremony. The negative curving platters do not do well without clamping. It I possible to use an insert but it defeat all purposes

Although Lloyd Walker makes some very interesting observations during his clamp versus vacuum arguments, the "tap test" and subsequent listening comparisons have convinced me of the generic fact that well-done coupling is very beneficial.  In my comparisons I hear no advantages in loose discs.  Needless to say I am curious to hear the Walker, although it could be pretty scary, given the ancillary equipment they all seem to use. 

I am NOT a big fan of Lloyd Walker, I do not pay a lot of attention to what he says and I genially am not happy with what he does or willing to do.
