Actually, I believe the reason was AVAILABILITY!
When the VP6DX K3's shipped, I don't believe the 2.7kHz filters
were available yet! And I don't believe the 500 Hz 5-pole's
were available at that time either...

All the K3's sent to VP6DX had the 8 pole filters. I presume that was
for a reason.

Yes, but the reason may have had as much to do with marketing, wanting
to make SURE the rig puts it's best foot forward, as it did with
actually needing 8 poles.
I think this one is a rather easy choice. If you're not sure, go with
the stock 5 pole filter. It's free, after all. Use the rig and see how
it does. If you're still wanting more, get the 8 pole filter.
Or, get the 8 pole filter right off the bat. Put both in the rig and
A/B switch between them. Then report back here as to what difference
you heard.
