At your budget, not necessarily. The hardest part of a speaker design to get right is the crossover network, the components which divide the frequency spectrum into 2 or 3 (or 4, or...) subdivisions and assigns them to the respective drivers. A speaker with a midrange driver has, by definition, two crossovers (one between the woofer and midrange drivers, another between the midrange and tweeter drivers) and since both of those crossover frequencies are right in the middle of the range of human hearing, any aberrations or shortcomings will be more conspicuous.

In short, all things being equal it's easier to build a good-sounding 2-way crossover than a good-sounding 3-way crossover, especially if one of those Things Being Equal is the pricepoint.
Yes, this is what i am finding from intense research! I would expect KEF to get this done correctly, vs a consumer brand. I will give them a listen.
