Yes I'm mating the woofer and tweeter directivity at a point that they are equal and hence becomes constant over a wide bandwidth
Most of the measurements or simulations are horizontal not vertical. There is the one vertical that I posted today.
Interdriver spacing is greater than the wavelength of the XO point. Impossible to avoid if you insist on a 5K crossover.
This mid is very well behaved. Your mileage with other drivers may vary. Yes I have a slight boost just below the XO point.
If you also want low Q filters and steep slopes you probably can't make your 5K crossover point happen. That would require your woofer to go up to 7-10K and a 5" will be very beamy there.

Ok, making some sense to me. I personally like to keep vertical lobing to a minimum, my experience has led me to believe that this will greatly improve the sound stage and I also get really annoyed if the sounds changes from seating to standing. There are so many ways to design and so may trade offs, many become a personal quest and art form, this is one of the reasons of I love designing. I will study your work some more, it's very interesting!

If you want bass down to 125, you can't run a 5K crossover and not have lobing unless you go with a coax ie https://faitalpro.com/en/products/Coaxial_Loudspeakers/product_details/index.php?id=351010010
