no, this one:
Yes, I realized the next morning that I had overlooked the loop gain 
factor, but couldn't get on email until now.

Hey Dave,

The inverter stage in those filters attenuates, reducing the loop gain 
by a factor of 10, lowering the tuned frequency by a factor of the 
square root of 10.

On a more philosophical note, this is because a state variable filter 
isn't R's and C's; it's two integrators and an inversion in a loop.  It 
doesn't matter how those parts are implemented, the overall equation is 
the same.

In this case, the attenuation in the inverter stage is equivalent to 
each of the integrators tuned down by sqrt(10).
