Greetings: I have both a Rane CC22A and a Marchand XM44. I have also owned a Welborne xover and a Marchand XM26 in the past. The Marchands have better parts quality and use more discrete components. The Rane is a very nice unit and has a lot of flexibility. My friend Steve Sank at Talking Dog in Tucson swears by the Rane. I does a fairly simple up grade to the unit making it direct coupled (no caps) and says it sounds great. Even the stock unit isn't bad. Hope this helps...
