What needs to be remembered however, is that if you make corrections that improves the response in the sweet spot area, the situation often degrades in other areas (naturally), so it´s a balancing act. Most (if not all) of my clients favor a better response in sweet spot area, even if the response in other areas degrades. But so far all of my clients care less about how it sounds elsewhere in the room as long as it´s perfect in the sweet spot. I would make the same decision.

Not doing corrections in parallel / symmetrically is a pretty bad idea yes.
We're keeping an eye on this technology, but we never needed it for work so the only intensive / in-depth experiences we had were with the systems / software manufacturers who often came to a studio we built to show us extensively what it can do and try to sell it to us. Conclusion was always the same, although some systems were much better than others.
Have you used/tried the SAM system from Genelec?
