OK...  so I don't have time to complete my stack of cash for my K-Line
order...  I've paired it back.  Anyone interested in offering me a
second pair of eyes to see if I am making any glaring mistakes in
spec'ing out my reduced order?

Here's a link to a screen shot of my shopping cart:

Here's the Executive summary:
K3S/100K  Transceiver with 100 Watt amp module
KRX3A-K  Secondary Receiver
KAT3A-K  Internal Antenna tuner
MH-2  Hand Mic
SS30DV  Power Supply

And here's the filters I am going to end up with:
FL1 - Reserved for FM/Reserved for FM
FL2 - KFL3A-6K/KFL3A-6K  (AM/eSSB)
FL3 - KFL3A-2.8_2.7sw/KFL3A-2.8_2.7sw  (trade-up to 2.8kHz/8-pole on
both receivers)
FL4 - KFL3A-400/KFL3A-400  (CW... yes, this "no-code" is diligently
working to achieve 25wpm before the end of summer)
FL5 - KFL3A-250/KFL3A-250 (CW)

Lot's of other stuff I'd LIKE to have, but just can't do it.  Anyone
think I should do anything different?  I'm kind of capped right around
this total.

Thanks
