….. sit back and conclude that, yes, damn it, a pair of good straight Mid-Bass horns is exactly what you need. My reasons are of course somewhat selfish... as I won't like being alone in needing a non-digital delay solution to use with my own Bass horns once they are done. So go for it... Leave your mark on the planet for having contributed to the betterment of mankind... The result would be a sort of reference effort….

Ironically what you said it is exactly how I feel: I would like to leave my mark, at least with my own awareness, and to explore and to experience the reference efforts in using of a PROPERLY DONE midbass horn. There are number reasons why I fell that properly implemented 55-140Hz midbass horn might be very useful. However, with all my interest to the subject I clearly recognize that I will not be moving to this direction anytime in observable feature (they are many reasons why) and Macondo will live “as is” for a while.

In realty to make a proper upperbass horn is relatively simple as it would be rectangular and the demand to horn’s profile would be less critical. However, It will be a bunch of other problems that would require some attention (crossovering, delays, accessing the high order crossover devastations and so on) that might convert the upperbass project into a long-lasting pain in ass. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I have enough pain in ass in my life right now in order to bring another ...  midbass-horn-inspired pain….
