What is the advantage / disadvantage of both methods?

A shorted capacitor often destroys the primary winding of the output transformer.

Advantage of the B4CA65A design is that a shorted capacitor will only stop the music. The transformer is saved.

The design of the B4X65A gives more stability to the LF amplifier, as the phase shift of the amplifier is better controlled by the LC-network this way.
