The spec difference is almost impossible to detect in normal usage. It 
takes very clean lab signal generators to test.

We're talking about extreme signals that might just start to cause 
barely noticeable IMD in the 'bad' filter.  Even the 'bad' filter IMD is 
better than most other rigs on the market.

It just looks like a one off failure. (This can happen in any xtal 
filter from any mfg.)
