I think the bottom line here is that there's a lot of ways to skin a cat. If you're a tool man, then you can relate this to hydraulic vs. mechanical set packers. If you're going horizontal then you better run hydraulic. Of if you need to set more than one packer, then hydraulic might be a requirement. But if you can twist the tubing string, it's probably just as well either way.

The same can be said of crossover technologies. There are pros and cons of most any solution, but it's all just different ways of doing the same stuff. There are definite benefits of running active crossovers and bi-amping. But not everyone can use this solution. As long as the filters are well-formed and use good parts, you can expect performance of the system to be good, either way.
