3 Way speaker design vs 2 and 1/2 way

68.43.224.146

Could someone explain the overall advantages / disadvantages of going with a 3 way vs a 2 1/2 way speaker design?
my understanding is that the 3 way is more complex and usually is more expensive and requires excellent x overs....but aside from this, can produce a more pure midrange due to e fact that the woofer doesn't double as a midrange or vice versa...

Could someone chime in?
thanks
