RE: Sound coming from the front with HPs.

Just to clarify that the Phonitor circuit does not produce images outside the head. However the strict left/right presentation (with that hole you mention) of normal headphone listening is changed to one that places the sounds in a similar relative configuration to that heard from your speakers.
Once one has become acclimatised to the sound of using the crossfeed circuit (which as I said is subtle, especially on first hearing) it is great fun to listen whilst using the angle control to move the image inside your head so that it maps the one that you hear when you remove the headphones and switch on the speakers.
I have found a positive answer to you search for a cheaper amp with crossfeed. A Phonitor Mini! Based on the Phonitor 2 it is less than half the price (around 490 gbp here).
