I have used Dunestar 600 filters for decades without any issues. I auto
switch them and the antennas with a band decoder so they are always
correctly set.
FWIW, I recently purchased a set of VA6AM filters which are really nicely
made but I have not set them up yet.

Bottom of the barrel? What did you replace then with?
I have four of these filters, and take them on DXpeditions. Each has had a
failure (mostly on 10 meters) due to operator error switching bands without
switching the filter. Since then I use the WX0B Bandmaster to switch the
filters automatically with the radio.
After repairing each one, I found a set of caps that will handle the 200
watts used with my Kenwood 480HX. Only have had two relays fail out of all
four units. Wish I had a permanent fix for those. Actually, I would
replace all of these if I could find a reliable unit for similar cost.
