Rel subwoofers

Are the larger, ported Rel subwoofers actually better than the sealed Strata 3? Or do they suffer from port chuffing?

There are several posts comparing the ST series to the Britannia series. In all the posts I found reviewers state that the Britannia series are an improvement over the older line and I agree. Plus, I prefer forward firing subwoofers. Here is a good review and I agree with his findings: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rspkr&1144022560&read&keyw&zzrel+britannia
