Hi BradtheRad,
may I correct you in two points?
* A 2nd oder filter always has a roll-off of 40 dB/dec - independend on configuration and technolgy: passive or active, RC or RLC. Also the classical "multifeedback topology" is of 2nd order only. The only remarkable difference is: A passive RC filter can provide maximum pole Q values of 0.5 only; however, the roll-off is 40 dB/dec.
* Also the 3-opamp topology (Tow-Thomas, or Kerwin-Huelsman-Newcomb, or Fleischer-Tow) is of 2nd order only and, thus, has not "the steepest roll-off".
