Don't LLTs suffer from increased coloration over an IB due to the much smaller enclosure? If you don't believe subwoofers have coloration then I suggest you compare any other subwoofer with an IB. Manifolds are much too small for inter-panel modes to be excited by the usual passband. This is not true of LLTs.
Rodny's conversion does at least have the advantage of a prismatic, non-parallel form.
Don't LLTs need a large airtight enclosure which costs far more money and work than a simple manifold. Stiffening a large LLT enclosure must be an exercise in frustration.
What is the phase relationship between the port and the drivers over the entire powerband? How much coloration does the large port introduce in the powerband?
I wonder whether the LLT can mange micro-dynamics like the IB?
Doesn't the LLT need more power to perform as well as an IB?
Does the LLT offer the same levels of distortion as an IB?
No guessing allowed!
