[TowerTalk] Bandpass filters - ICE vs Dunestar

[Pete Smith <n4zr@contesting.com>]

Judging by their published specs, the Dunestar 600 bandswitched bandpass 
filter appear to be usefully better than the ICE 491 unit.  Can anyone who 
has used both comment on whether this is true, and whether $110 per filter 
is worth it?  Are there other considerations?  I will be using band 
decoders to control the filters, so the lack of an external controller for 
the Dunestar is not a factor.
