I agree with your decision to omit the L-Pad. I never really liked them for several reasons. You simply select the R1/R2 pair that provides the requisite attenuation.
My one experience with variable L-Pads was they introduced some distortion, especially when you're using good drivers, crossover parts and wire. Even though I had a couple of PE 100W 8 ohm L-Pads in the parts box I chose not to use them.
