RE: Foil vs Wire: What difference does it make?

I think that would be true about delamination, but it really hasn't been a problem since they introduced the new adhesive 20 years ago. (My bass wires are starting to come loose again, though -- #*(@&.)

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is diaphragm damping. There is less diaphragm noise from the foil. Parts of the diaphragm are less likely to go out of phase, too (Mylar dragged behind the conductors).

The main differences in the XO were because they went from higher order parallel to first order series crossovers, not because of the foil.
