[Elecraft] The Lowly Appliance Operator Ponders Filters

When technical smarts were issued, I had to be hiding behind the door.  All of 
this filter stuff is way over my head(as are most things more complicated than 
light switches(on-off are OK, three-ways are a challenge)).

Based on what's available for the K3, what would be an optimal choice for 
someone who mostly operates CW, some SSB, would like to try data, and avoids 
contests?

It's not very often that I use the narrowest filter in the K2 for cw....and I 
use an Autek audio filter(complete with ringing and ac hum).

Perhaps what I'm asking is like going into an auto dealer, looking at a 
Lamborghetta and asking if I can install a Muntz TV in the back seat.

It's not that I wouldn't buy filters...it's more like when I go to a museum of 
modern art....I am too ignorant to know if the painting of the sun, which 
appears to be a big orange circle, is hung upside down.
