[Elecraft] [K3] decisions, decisions

[Pierfrancesco Caci]

Finally having enough money to get a K3, but not enough to get all the
options I'd like to have from the start, I need to decide what to get. 
I've read many comments on this mailing list that suggest not to do away
with the ATU, for a variety of reasons, so I'll get that. 
I would like to know how important is the PR6, I like 6m and it's the
only band for which I have a decent antenna (a 5el yagi). 
My activity is a mix of dx chasing, some contesting without
sweating it too much and the occasional random qso. Mostly cw/digimodes
lately due to small kid and screaming into a microphone not mixing well :-)
So I would also like to know how important is to get one extra roofing
filter (maybe a 500Hz one) from the beginning, or if I can do without
that for the next few months until I can spare some more money for the
hobby and get a round of upgrades. 
I'm also considering going for the k3/10 and get the filters/preamp
instead of the k3/100 without the options, if it would give me better
results. 

I'll appreciate your suggestions
