Deqx vs. Behringer or Dbx Digital Crossovers?

Can you guys share your direct comparison's between theese different crossovers. I know, I know the Deqx is the cat's meow. O.K maybe it is, Tell me why. How is the sound better? And what makes it better? D/A converters? Wiring? Power supply? Has anyone Directly A/B compared these units?
I am using the Behringer and love the concept of Active crossovers. And the digital ones have nice features. But the real question is, is it worth the extra dollars to spring for the Deqx? Thanks in advance.

I have a background in studio and live sound work. Behringer is the laughing stock of the industry. They make cheap knockoffs with the cheapest parts they can possibly find and cheap Chinese labor. They don't have an R&D department so much as a legal team for their onging lawsuits over said knockoffs. I don't mean to knock your box and I say this with all due respect, but I'm surprised to hear of a Behringer in a high end system, and even more surprised it hasn't died on you yet.

I haven't heard or seen the deqx but will be seeing it demoed at the end of the month in NEWAS. (http://www.newaudiosociety.com)

Yes, like I say, I'm not trying to knock it, just making you hip to what they're about insomuch as I know. I agree it's not up to audiophile standards. I wish I had something to say about the deqx but I won't hear it until the 29th. I wish you luck with your upgrades =)
