Why is ICOM'S 250 Hz Filter Cheaper Than Its 500 Hz Filter?

ICOM offers 2 narrow CW	filters	for the	9 MHz 1st IF in	 the
R71A general coverage receiver:

  1.  FL-32 (500 Hz @6 db, 1.5 KHz @ 60	db).  Price = $60.

  2.  FL-63 (250 Hz @6 db, ? @ 60 db).	Price =	$48.50.

The 500	Hz filter worked ok in my older	 R70.	Why  is	 the
more narrow filter CHEAPER?  Does anyone have any experience
with either filter in the R71A?
