If you wanna do it with an X-fade, that means you'll need a sample with only the lower frequencies, and then another sample with only the higher frequencies. That means you'll need to play both samples - using 2 channels - in order to get the full sound with both the low and high frequencies.
Using the inversion trick, you'll only need to use 2 channels as long as you
don't want the full sound. As soon as you want the full sound, you only need to use 1 channel.
So it really depends what you want of course. Since I wanted to achieve a fade-in in the beginning, where not much else was happening, I could easily use 2 channels for that. Then as the tune really starts, after the synths has faded in, I get an "extra" free channel since I'm done with the filtering now.
Do to the same with X-fade, you'd constantly need to use 2 channels through-out the track.
