4pole or 8pole Linkwitz?

Hi
following on from my other thread re active filters.
What are your thoughts on 4 pole Butterworth v 4 pole Linkwitz Reilly v 8 pole Linkwitz Reilly? for a 4 way speaker system.
8 pole L-R is just another 4 pole B added onto the first. Do I keep this as a later modification? leaving enough space for both sets of boards.

Try it

But I would have thought that 4th-order would offer steep enough slope and the doubling of size, cost and complexity for the 8th-order system would bring little if any real benefit, unless you are really maxing out every driver in the system.
