I would put a 250 Hz. in one of those slots.  When I use 500 Hz. I 
seldom find a need for the second filter (the one in the first IF, which 
is also 500 Hz.).  However, there are times when I am glad to have a 
very narrow 250 Hz. filter around.  At those times, I usually throw in 
all the filters I have.  I also find that I cannot tune around with the 
250, I have to use the 500 for that; the narrow one is too touchy.  
However, I remember a few times, chasing DX, when I had clear copy on 
the 250 plus 500, while the two 500s left the DX in the middle of a pile 
of callers.
