Yeah I'm with you on that. It's always best to filter what you can BEFORE it hits the amp, so that as little of the amp is wasted on unwanted frequencies as possible. Then if you need a little further tweaking, inline passive filters are indeed nice. Plus, if you are working on a mostly factory system, passive filters make life much easier!
