[Elecraft] 2.7 vs 2.8 filter choice K3

[Craig D. Smith]

In my opinion the difficulty in making the choice is because of the pricing
structure adapted by Elecraft for this option.  If the filters were sold
"ala carte", and you needed to buy the 2.7 or 2.8 in addition to the K3 (or
sub receiver), I'm guessing that most people, including me, would elect to
pay $120 for the 2.8 rather than $100 for the 2.7.  At only a $20
differential, the better skirt performance is very reasonably priced.  But
last time I checked, there was a $70 price adder to substitute the 2.8 for
the "standard" 2.7.  That is a much bigger out-of-pocket cost for a
questionable increase in performance and has people scratching their heads
before making the decision.  I went with the 2.7, but would have gone with
the 2.8 if the cost differential was less.  

Question for Aptos: Would it be possible to make this choice easier when the
sub receiver becomes available?  I would prefer to have at least one 2.8
filter, but not at the present pricing differential.  I would prefer the
"ala carte" approach.
