John,

I agree with Lee.  You'll pay a premium for the CWRIT, and gain  
little or nothing.  Assuming your using a paddle, you'll need an  
outboard keyer either way you go.  The R4C is an excellent cw rcvr,  
(more versatile than the TR-4) even without the narrower filters.   
The bandpass tuning is very effective and the filters are pretty easy  
to find if you want them.

Otherwise, whatever Garey "says"
