2.09 produces much more visible excursion on sub bass notes.

When I fired up 2.10 new settings this is what I observed on my subs immediately. I reduced output to subs on active crossover by a click or two. This resulted in a cleaner more open sound. The bass was much more detailed and accurate.
One could feel you had lost some bass weight but this is replaced by a much better bass definition(I use live unamplified and amplified double bass in music recordings to test this).
My sub drivers(12in, 300mm) barely move even at volume(85 to 90db).
I have always preferred a leaner bass sound as it easily over whelms the mid/highs. In reality most live bass is not low/deep unless amplified/boosted for DJ dance/reggae/pop or some jazz/rock fusion.
Personally I do enjoy this music particularly bass/drums, having been a drummer in a previous life, but a lot is recorded poorly often with exaggerated bass, so is difficult to get sounding right on a home system particularly in the bass region.
