I've heard the MAF103.00 in a tractrix FLH. Its a nice driver with high efficiency and smooth FR when horn loaded. Didn't see any measurements but it integrated well sound wise with an 18" bin and a large format mid driver. Cone was a little on the skimpy side, even for a dedicated midbass. I'd personally look at the 10MD26 only becuase it has a solid reputation for use in FLHs. The Lavoce drivers are made in China. It doesn't say this anywhere on the box. I do believe they are decent drivers though based on my experiences.
The 10md26 starts rolling off at about 600 hz in a FLH. If you go onto Inlow's website, there's info as well. He also mentions the 10plb76 having more output capability, but it doesn't carry as high as the 10md26. I personally like the sound of the 10md26 overall, even as a direct radiator. This driver along with the 8ndl51, 8pe21, 12pe32 and 12mh32 are my top picks for midbass drivers.
you can use this paper to find the hf corner of a driver in a horn: http://www.xlrtechs.com/dbkeele.com...Preprint) - LF Horn Design Using TS Paras.pdf
You can also get roll off due to the throat chamber volume and acoustic cancelation due to the physical dimension of the cone/throat which you can mitigate with a phase plug.
