If you are purchasing a new matte box for your Red, what filter size will you require?

A useful description of each option can be found here:

Note 1: 4x4 filters should not really be included above and are not recommended for 35mm cinematography - but they may still be used for 2K windowed with super-16 lenses and B4 lenses.

Note 2: for anyone planning on purchasing more than one matte box, please indicate your primary need.

Note 3: 5x6 filters seem like a good option, but they are less common.

Arri MB-20 - 5.6x5.6 for grads / 138mm round for polas or varicon (EDIT or could that be on 4x5.6?) / 4x5.6 for the rest?

Am I nuts?

...or if CVB can make a lightweight 6.6x6.6, I'll go with that. This might not be physically possible though.
