[ICOM] Icom filters question

[John Geiger]

I have an Icom 756 original (complete with blue lines in the screen) and
want to install both a narrow CW filter and a narrow SSB filter, since I do
both modes.  I currently have a FL101 250hz CW filter installed in the 9mhz
IF and could get a FL222 1.8KHZ SSB filter for the 455khz IF.  I would use
just the FL222 on SSB and use both filters on CW.  So, the 2nd IF would
narrow the passband down to 250hz, and the filter in the 3rd IF would maybe
narrow it a little more on some blowby or skirts.

I am wondering, though, if it would be better to have the wider filter in
the 2nd IF and the narrower filter in the 3rd IF?  So I could put a FL223
in the 9mhz IF, which on CW would narrow the passband to 1.9khz, and then
have the FL53A in the 3rd IF narrowing it down even further.

Would this be a better setup, or doesn't it really matter?
