Since I work mostly CW, and am not too interested in diversity
reception (don't have the antennas either), I was thinking of the following:

Main Rx: 2.8 - 1.8 - 1 - 400 - 200
Sub Rx: 13 - 6 - 2.8 - 2.1 - 1 or 400

I know that's a lot of filters, but other than going broke


Wow, that's over $1200 on filters alone!  You haven't said much about how you 
plan to operate (other than mostly CW), but 6 of your 10 filters are for voice 
modes (i.e. all above 1.0 kHz).  Are you sure you wouldn't rather use that $750 
for something more aligned with your main interest? 

Just to complicate your choices even more, Inrad has 2 additional filters 
besides what can be ordered from Elecraft:

http://www.inrad.net/product.php?productid=316&cat=140&page=1

It may also benefit you to order your filters directly from Inrad rather than 
Elecraft since they offer quantity discounts (up to 20% for 10 filters...see 
page 16 of their catalog).  That could save you about $120 but perhaps you're 
ordering your unit assembled.

P.S.  Don't forget Elecraft will *someday* offer variable bandwidth filters!
