How much better is having DLBC? Is DLBC like having Audyssey XT32?
Dirac Live is on a par (I think better) with Audyssey XT32 (which comes with Audyssey's SubEQ functionality)

Dirac Live Bass Control - DLBC is the next step up for bass - it does its stuff with subs, and mostly multi-subs - it has a huge following and many people swear by it. - it is the next step up from Dirac Live. Audyssey has no equivalent

Dirac Live - Active Room Treatment (ART) - is the next step beyond that - where active cancellation of specific sounds/frequencies from specific speakers is used to correct the room - it is a complete paradigm shift.
Toss out all your assumptions about optimal speaker types and combinations.

ART will be available to all manufacturers who want to integrate it into their AVR's starting in October.

There is no word yet from Onkyo/Pioneer/Integra as to which models will support ART.

I returned a glitchy RZ50 with Dirac turned ON and ordered the LX505. Comes in tomorrow. Hopefully I can finally get a feel for Dirac.
