Mojo,
Agreed, the SVS control panel is a total pain to use. Too cumbersome, hard to navigate, and difficult to set once you figure out the parameters. I also found that the different listening modes had very little effect on the actual performance. And in the event I wanted to make a slight change, it was difficult to go back to where I was to make the adjustment. As such, I just left it alone and lived with what was close.
This new panel on the EP 800 is so simple to work with and once dialed in, I only need the usual two controls to work with and I can do it blindfolded. The main gain and the "switch". If I want to play with the crossover, it's quick to find and switch without looking at it; but I don't touch it most of the time, I run it at full range 150 hz as this is smoothest for my room.
