Not that I am aware of. In general, cross-stringing (or over-stringing) will
make it easier to design the very low bass and more difficult to design a
clean and musically transparent bass/tenor crossover. Beyond these two areas
it should be able to design for pretty much the same overall sound with
either scheme.
