I'll contradict you in good humor on the Chemex if only to say that it's just a very nice multi-cup drip option. The heavy filters seem to slow down brewing a bit but I've always gotten really tasty, strong coffee out of my Chemex, and it's a very lovely object and surprisingly easy to keep clean. But you're right that it's not significantly different and takes up more space.
