That's been my experience too, Dave. SSB is not my forte ... severely
compromised hearing ... but I do get into a small handful of phone
contests [not WPX SSB, for the reasons you mentioned]. I had a borrowed
1.8 filter for awhile, and found that it really did degrade the audio.
Conversely, I've never had a problem with strong adjacent signals using
the 2.7 even though I've got a couple of close neighbor hams.

Using only the 2.7 filter, I never experienced a case of adjacent-signal
AGC pumping, or any other negative issue during the contest. I think if
an SSB signal is so close to you that it is pumping your agc through the
2.7 filter, the frequency is hopelessly splattered anyway, and you'd
best be moving on. I did narrow the DSP down by using HI CUT, and
usually ran it at LOW=0.15 and HIGH=2.25.
