I would like to still see some kind of APF filter to peak up weak cw, I'm still always looking for more volume or gain against the noise floor. For me its hard to compare something from a couple of months ago to what I have now in firmware but for the impressions or notes taken back with other firmware set ups, with varying band conditions I really can't tell unless you had two radios side by side to compare in real time both on the same antenna at the same time with no a/b switching.
Out of 4 cw attempts at my daily cw fix only one had enough level of volume s/n that was a comfortable arm chair copy, another fellow K3 owner at a camp ground in Mo. I would go for the dual firmware one for CW and the other for SSB also, 3.27 does well on SSB with the audio response, so far I like it a lot.
