I only put my hand on two blank DS6107 (IM) and DS761 (HM).
The DS761 is really X-Fast and seems light beside it's 7'6" lenght.
The DS6107 is not as fast, more regular in the upper 1/3 section.

One blank that impress me for drop shopping is the MHX DS821, a dream for 1/8 to 1/4oz weight.
Really fast but sensitive and with enough power for me (using 3lb to 6lb tippet leader).

This blank and the DS8515 (high mod only) are quickly becoming my favorite spinning blanks.
I know you asked about NFC but look into those 2 blanks and see what you think.
