Yes, in both receivers.  Hey, it's only money... ;^)

I'm curious to know - except maybe on 160 or VHF, most of my receiving problems 
in CW contests seem to come from QRM. When I'm contesting, I find that the only 
RX controls I use on my K-3 are the main tuning or (when running) RIT - this 
despite having DSP control to shift and narrow my passband.  I just go with my 
500-Hz filter and my ears.

So what do you do?  What have you found useful - again, not in weak-signal 
situations, but in QRM.
