Right. But Shel, make sure you get the 6" filters for the filter drawer above the lens if you can. At least that way you don't introduce something below the lens for the light and image to pass through. You can also cut them into smaller squares and use them in the other filter drawer right above the lens that is used for the red, light-blocking filter. Also, I have both the Ilford and the Kodak filters, and I find the Ilford filters to produce more contrast on most papers. I develop my film for the Kodak filters most of the time and print with those unless I need a contrast boost. Both sets print with one speed up to grade 3-1/2, and then you need to add about another stop for filters 4 and above.
