I feel you need to rolloff the woofer more to reduce the peak in the passband. Not rolling it off can't be optimal. It also needs to be rolled off by 200Hz so the localization does not come into play for the side mounted woofer position. No worries, the RS100 should be fine this low.
The tweeter is a 13mm, and the 4.7uF is likely too large to make it happy. I think the 1.5mH is also too large, but being a 2.2ohm dcr it's contribution is more of a contour. Even so, it's a bit of a boat anchor on a 13mm tweeter.
My 2c,

I agree, I’ve never felt happy about leaving the bass driver playing full range with that peak up in the mid range. I plan to rework the crossover and see what comes from it.

Just curious, what is the reason the internal end of the port has a little pocket behind / under it? Seems like it would have been left solid unless.it had a purpose.

It's so the port length will fit.

I mean it seems natural to me to do it like this. Maybe it's just a result of modelling the inside chamber then adding the port afterwards.

i wondered about that my self, the orginal has it as well
