[Elecraft] Q on Setting K3 Filter Offsets

I have all 8-pole filters in my K3. I've always noticed a slight
audio response difference between LSB and USB positions. Read some
list history on the topic. I do have a wideband noise generator and
spectral analysis software, but have been too lazy to get everything
set up. So I did a quick and dirty, just equalizing the receive
response aurally on all of the installed filters.
Ended up with -0.12 on the 2.8, +0.06 on the 1.8 and -0.05 on the 400.
I'm curious wether the experts around here think that's close enough
for government work, or if it's really worth going the spectrum
analyzer route. Could these results just be due to unequal skirts,
and maybe I should just "don't worry, be happy" and leave the 8-pole
offsets set to zero?
Thanks ... Grant/NQ5T
