No. The new TVS blowers are very good, but discharge temps and parasitic losses are still higher than with a Lysholm, particularly as boost levels climb. If you plan on keeping boost levels low the TVS presents a compelling, inexpensive alternative to a twin screw or turbochargers. But both a Lysholm twin screw and a turbocharger are going to be more efficient than a TVS if you have the coin.
