If you would like more information on how roll center works, here is a great read.

http://users.telenet.be/elvo/

Both Elvo and the Hudy/Xray setup guide will tell you the same thing I have. And yes, I have tried it 100 ways back and forth in both offroad and onroad and the physics stated in both places can be easily seen in practical application.
I think both of you are correct in the sense that, the length of the link does play a part in the camber change as well as the roll center.

Look at it this way, the shorter the link, the more effect on both the roll center and camber gain. For longer link, the effect of roll center is more than the camber gain.

The only way to find out is, indeed, to try out on the track.
