I just love the crossfeed on my ultra micro stack (HD650s). I had a total bithead once though, where the crossfeed was less impressive, so maybe it is something that scales according to the model.
It does tend to squash the stage a little, but what you said about echoey cardboard box was ungenerous to say the least. I always think the soundstage on headphones appears too wide in comparison to depth anyhow, so losing some of that width in favour of (percieved) depth doesnt seem like too much of a bad thing to me.
It does seem to make headphone listening even more "intimate" than it already is, which could be perceived either way I guess
