As I have commented before, I suspect that they use the Zarlink chipset, since they have 10 MHz input and 35,4 MHz is an intermediary frequency in that frequency scheme which is available for insert. Using one analog front in the antenna and one analog front in the receiver and feeding them with the same 10 MHz it all works out nicely. I don't know what solution Quartzlock is using. The reduced damping (and hence longer cable runs) is one benefit from down-converting, another could be reduced phase shift problems, but I think for L1 receivers this is not as major issue.
