K3 Filter advice...

I'm wondering what minimum complement of filters would work for me in
a K3. I am only interested in general coverage reception of SWBC
stations, plus operating CW. I am a little unlclear about what filter
would be required for AM (reception only), with the KBPF3 option.

For CW I generally prefer a wide filter (my K2 is set at 2.0 kHz most
of the time). I suppose I would want a narrower filter as well but
can't decide whether 500/400 or 250/200.

Does a 2.1 kHz + 200 Hz filter pair seem like a useful combo for CW?

Finally, I don't have a clue what noticeable difference there would be
between a 200/5-pole and a 250/8-pole. If the difference is really
subtle or limited to very occasional use I suppose I'd go for the
cheaper one.
