RE: Eh, you can choose your Q with either approach

You are incorrect. Reflex has 2 impedance peaks, one for the box and one for the port. Closed box(or the rarely used variovent, highly stuffed port that has essentially no acoustic output) has only one peak. Because of this reflex rolls off at 24 dB and closed box at 12 dB. Thus reflex has more overhang and the best reflex can NEVER be as well damped as the best closed box. No amount of design can compensate for the differences a port makes. The only one I know that comes close is the Rockport design and I've spoken with the designer and it is proprietary.
