To answer you question about "what does this bring to the table besides a longer signal path?" (from my own perspective)
I would say that besides the obvious reason... allowing two amps the do the job of one, and more specifically fine tuning a paticular amp for the high or low end. In my opinion the biggest benifit to bi-amping with an active XO allows the amp signal to go directly to the speaker without having an XO in the way to alter the signal or the hinder the power. The XO is between the preamp and the amp instead of the XO coming after the amp.
