You're right.
I've found myself thinking that since they're already putting in a variable-Q, parametric EQ, why not increase the number of bands or even have a seperate, sub-60Hz 5-band as well? Since it could be used to reduce frequencies only (and not boost them), I wouldn't think it would increase a load on a sub....
