I raised that question way back in January, purely in response to the ARRL Review.
Since then I have bought two 1.8 KHz filters from Elecraft, one for each of my K3's. Those filters perform very well in contest service, with surprisingly good intelligibility. Those are the filters I use all the time now on SSB.
