There is some critisizm of dome mids because of positional problems (domes rocking side to side). Since they are using a single support at the edge of the dome, they are not as well controlled as a cone driver supported at the cone edge, and also with the spider at the voice coil. I dont remember now where I read a pretty good paper on the problem.
Aside from that problem, I agree with the others, that for best midrange performance, it is desirable to cross over at least by 300Hz, where the midrange starts. Reproducing the mids from a single driver is important, in my opinion, and not many domes can go that low.
