A moot point I would suggest Bill when the symmetry (or lack of) a Ladder
filter's response is also considered. The more poles the better in a Ladder
roofing filter to improve symmetry provided that the IMD generated within
the filter does not become a limiting factor, a point that Jack K8ZOA has
noted. To preach to the choir, filter IMD performance is usually measured
early on in a receiver's design exercise prior to fixing the Gain
Distribution.
