A good enough endorsement, one line - thank you.

But this part sounds like an endorsement for FILTERS.  I am guessing you use
these filters?

Reading into it sorta backwards, it sounds like the 2720 may have serious
problems WITHOUT the filters.  A lot of words about what I might want to add
in order to fix a problem?  Can you tell me - is the 2720 worth considering
without adding filters?  If not, I will continue to shop for a dual-bander.

Thanks - you are the only reply I got all weekend.

Mike.
