B2L / Xgaes questions - Sensor differences & bar

B2L / Xgaes questions - Sensor differences & bar

I'm going to buy one of these pads, and I'm on the fence as to which one.

  1. I think both are going to be functionally identical, but what I don't understand is the differences between the Standard, Pro, and Ultimate on the Xgaes as compared to the one (arcade replica) of the B2L. I *think* the Ultimate Xgaes is also an arcade replica. Is that the case? Is it better than the B2L in any way? I know the Xgaes is deburred to avoid sharp edges and includes some replacement parts. I'm not sure that's the case with the B2L. It also looks like the Xgaes only includes the DDR style bar. (I prefer the ITG / pump style that you can configure the B2L with)

  2. I am curious how hard removing the bar is. I'll need to pull this out of the garage and set it up in the livingroom when it's time to play, which would mean attaching and removing the bar fairly often. Is this time consuming?
    a. I THINK I can just leave the cover off and have the bolts exposed for qucker access. Is that right? Any reason not to do this? (as seen here at 21:30 timestamp).

Feedback on build requested - SQ goal

I just got back a quote for my 2018 Honda Accord 2.0t Sport. I'm sensitive to highs and really like a warm sound signature, so went with Morels.

Full front door sound deadening treatment. Rear speaker deck treatment. Trunk treatment. License plate. Rear wheel well treatment (cabin side). Treatment under spare tire / trunk bed.

Stock Head Unit with DSP/PS disabled and ANC disabled
Hertz S8 DSP (my local shop doesn't carry or support Helix, or I'd have gone the mini route)
JL RD900/5 5-channel amp 75x4 + 500x1 (at 2 Ohm)
Morel Hybrid mk2 62 front components (2 way)
Morel Tempo Ultra 602 Integra rear (Coax just for fill and rear passenger)
Skar "stealth" 1.06 cubic feet sealed enclosure for Honda Accord
Image Dynamics IDQ12 V.4 D4 subwoofer

They will time align and neutral response EQ using a dedicated HQ microphone.

Anything you feel is missing in this equation? Any problems jump out at you? Anyone use the Hertz S8 DSP? Like it? Don't?

Thank in advance!
