Hello Gentleman, I am not a CW op. To my knowledge, 8 pole will give more passive IMD and lower NPR (see page 6 of the report below by AB4OJ): http://www.ab4oj.com/test/docs/npr_test.pdf

The final selectivity is set by the DSP WIDTH control. As you ratchet down the WIDTH the appropriate roofing filter is switched in automagically. That said, when I bought my K3 I added a single 400 Hz 8 pole thinking that I could add others later. That was 4 years ago. I've been trying to decide between a 700 Hz and 1 KHz filter for a while. Turns out that on CW the NR is more effective at those BWs and 2.7 KHz is too wide a door to leave open when chasing weak signals. I'm a 95% CW op, contester and DX chaser.
