[Elecraft] Differenced Between Filter "KFL3A-2.8_2.7sw" and "KFL3A-2.8K"?

[Dick Dievendorff]

There is a 2.7 kHz filter and a 2.8 kHz filter.  

The KFL3A-2.8_2.7sw is an order entry item for people that wish to order a
K3 with (just) the 2.8 kHz filter instead of the 2.7 kHz filter that
normally comes with a K3.

It's a "swap" order item.  If you order a K3, and then order a separate 2.8
kHz filter, you'd pay $125.95 for the 2.8 kHz filter and you'd have an extra
2.7 kHz left over. 

If instead you order the KFL3A-2.8_2.7sw at the time you order your K3,
it'll come with just the 2.8 kHz filter, and the 2.8 kHz filter "upgrade"
costs $95.95. They won't send the "stock" 2.7 kHz filter. 

But you have to arrange this "swap" before your K3 or KRX3 is shipped.

I was planning to take a block of hours tomorrow to add the KRX3 to my
K3/100. 

One of the things to do is to replace the 2.7-KHz filter with the 8-pole
2.8-KHz filter in
the main receiver. I have one "KFL3A-2.8K" that I ordered a while ago for
this purpose. 

Now I see from the Elecraft order page that there is the note:

   "Order KFL3A-2.8_2.7sw instead if replacing
   2.7 kHz stock filter."
 
Does anyone know what the different is between "KFL3A-2.8K" and
"KFL3A-2.8_2.7sw"? Should
I wait to get a "KFL3A-2.8_2.7sw" to swap out the old filter in the main
receiver?
