John,
I have either 2.8 or 2.7 KHz filters in my K3s; I just don't remember which I ordered. I rely on the bandwidth of the filter that follows which is created by DSP. It works fine for me. I know this setup has stop bands that are around 105 db, but I don't know what the shape factor is; some of this is available from Bob Sherwood's site.

The filters you are discussing are roofing filters. They are primarily there to protect the the ADC from seeing too much energy and overloading. Selectivity is secondary. Unless you perceive that you are having a problem, I wouldn't go to the trouble of swapping out filters. However, there are a number of hams who will disagree with me.

With the recent experience in SSB? contests, I'm thinking of upgrading
my SSB filter(s). Currently for SSB I have only the 2.8 filter. What are
thoughts about other SSB filters? I know when I narrow the bandwidth to
1.8 the intelligibility goes down.

John, when narrowing the SSB bandwidth down to 1.8 use the shift control also 
and shift from 1.5 down to wards 1.05 or so. Makes a big difference.  I'm sure 
a MACRO could be set up to do that automatically but I don't find it necessary 
often enough to worry about.
