FWIW, I just did an A/B test while listening to  W1AW (on 40 meters) between
my half built K2 (4890) and my (high SN) Drake R4C which was recently
upgraded and tuned by Rob Sherwood.  I toggled back and forth between the
two many many times over a period of over 30 minutes.  Using only my ears, I
compared them for signal to noise and filter ring and the K2 was noticeably
more relaxing to listen to.    Very convincing to me..   If I am biased at
all, I think the R4C would have won.  BTW this was with the CW filters that
I was concerned? about at http://www.vtc.net/~ken/filters2.jpg
