While I prefer a big sealed box (something like 30 square foot is close enough to being infinite for smaller drivers) it is not a black or white choice.
A normal size bassreflex system can i.e. be tuned to 35-41 Hertz and thereby reduce the cone movement a lot. This will reduce distortion compared to a same size sealed box.
Secondly the port does give a more open sound in many systems.
I normally design loudspeakers including a foam plug, so that the owner can convert the bass reflex box to a sealed box.
Converting a sealed box to a bass reflex would require drilling holes by the owner:-)
Merry Christmas !
