You are right. But I would add that the overall "in-room" response (both vertical and horizntal) often ends up better with an MT design. The separation of the drivers with MTM usually causes vertical reponse and lobing irregularities when you take floor and ceiling reflections into account. Often a suck out in the upper midrange that you have to cross over quite low to avoid (if you can).Think of all those centre channel speakers (MTMs on their side) that have lousy horizontal dispersion characteristics, and should be avoided (lying down) IMO for that reason.
I would rather use an MMT design if the extra SPLs are required.
