Default active or passive or built in xover

so here is my question, I have Dynaudio 240gt 2-way components and a 4
channel MTX 4300 amp to power these. I also have an external Audio
control 2xs xover that I may or may not use.

I have the subs and sub amp figured out but am debating on the front
stage options. I have a hatchback and am omitting the rear speakers,
don't care for the fill.

I am planning on bridging the amp to get enough power for these, and
just using it 100Wx2 at 4ohm bridged.

I know this amp may not be in the same class as the separates but it's
all I have for now and I was always happy with the MTX quality, though
I may upgrade to a Zapco or Mcintosh if I ever get the itch bad
enough.

Question is:

Are there any benefits to using an external xover vs the one built-in
on the amp? The question is sound quality? Is there any diff?
Obviously if I add an external xover I am introducing more cables and
that's not good but I would think that the Audiocontrol stuff would be
better sounding than the built in Xover which I can turn off. I also
like the idea of having it set w/ a chip rather than a know that may
move and is set by my ears and not to a knowing frequency.

Just looking for thoughts. Thanks.
