By offsetting the 2.7Khz filter center freq, you may incur some slight
asymmetry in the passband response at the lower and/or upper knee of the
response curve, but the vast majority of the passband will be unaffected. 
If noticeable, it will be relatively minor.  The other options would be to
use closer matched 5-pole filters or use 8-pole filters.
