" wouldn't the pre-selector help with selectivity issues on the 
general coverage of the Flex?"


What problem are you having that you think a preselector will help with?
Lots of hams read about a preselector's gain and think DX will be 20 dB more
copyable. THAT's certainly not going to happen. As long as you can hear band
noise drop when you disconnect the antenna you have plenty of sensitivity.
And just about every receiver made since the 1960s has tons of sensitivity
even on the highest bands. 20 dB improvement could also be achieved by
turning the audio gain all the way to the right or by sticking your head
into the speaker. You know that's not going to help.

Yes, if you're next door to a VOA transmitter additional front end
selectivity might be useful but only if the VOA is causing a problem.
