Okay, I am about to buy my first ever rack crossover and am torn between two Behringer models, the CX2310 V2 or the CX3400 V2

I plan to split it in 2 only, running 2 18" subwoofers and 2 full range 15" + tweeters. Low and high respectively.
I do like the extra features on the 3400 but it does seem a little more complex to set up and "tune" than the 2310.
Which one would you pick.... And why......?

i guess its simpler to set up and use, but would be destroyed by the feature set of a minidsp 2x4hd? only unbalaced and 2V though.
The CX2310 was my first xover ! ..over 25 years ago yikes...
It's pretty simple really, so is the CX3400. Won't take long to digest either.
But apart from having balanced I/O, there's nothing about the units worth having today imo.
You can't really tell what the xover frequencies are. You're limited to one defined type and order... a Linkwitz-Riley or Butterworth second orde,r if i remember right. The delays are on the sub channels and most often needed on the mains.. And so on....
I agree with multitask's assessment...

Interesting feedback, I had a CX2310 too briefly, about 20 years ago but never got to use it.
Anyway, I have a CX2310 in the post, a friend has a CX3400 I can use to compare, but in the end I just went for quick and easy.
I need this like yesterday so it will do for now.
But then thanks to multitask's post, I came across these products l had never heard of before ------>

What the general consensus on these, are they any good......?
I suppose you are going to tune the setup by ear, so in that case use the simpler product.
I will but I have a yet unused brand new ECM8000 and a DL of REW which I plan to use as much as possible in my newly re-discovered endeavours.
The only extra feature on the 3400 I was impressed by was the time delay, but the MiniPro has this.
Those MiniPro's look half decent, I might shell out.
