Is there any audible improvement to using foil type inductors like Alpha Core over air core types like Erse XO series? If so, in what respect is it better?

I am building a crossover and found the proper size .3 mh and the proper wire gauge inductor but the resistance value is supposed to be .2 ohms and what I have is .3. Will a tenth of an ohm cause any problems?

on the inductor for a mid woofer what is important a low DCR or kind of iductor. example the Madisound Sledgehammer 1.0 Mh has a DCR of .1 but the supposedly superior Alpha Core Goertz has a DCR of .188. Does it matter that much, is there an audible difference between the laminated and foil...

I am currently making some super frugal MTM's for my theatre (wanted something different) but due to cost I am going down the old path of passive xo's. Whilst playing around with attenuation, BSC, notching and zobeling I decided I would do that once the unit was together etc etc etc, you know...
