That is true, and the ferrite cores are faster and may be cheaper?
When I look at my KDR filter it looks like a 3 phase laminated
iron core transformer with only one winding per phase(no secondary).
I don't know what they were planning, unless they wanted additional
phase interaction for smoothing.
    Hope this helps
