Even the early DD-18 (not the Plus) Room Optimization is some of the most detailed on board equalization available. Coupled with its remote controlled preset flexibility it allows the user to make many on the fly adjustments.
It bettered both my now very dated Onkyo and the Pioneer Elite receivers in dealing with the extra low frequencies in my room. On the other hand in my opinion it's just TV and using most modern receivers 80Hz sub output and the receivers on board EQ can do a very good job using an optimally placed subwoofer with basic controls.
The DD-18 is 123lbs. and the ML 212 is 140lbs. You might consider a dolly and very long interconnects to locate your rooms optimal single subwoofer placement.
