This is just my personal opinion, but when you are printing and making test strips at various exposures and contrast variations, the complexity of variables are vast. Add to this a few other factors like developer temperature, dilution, type of enlarger and it gets even more complicated. If you can get the original negative exposure correct for the given lighting conditions and develop it accordingly, there should be little need for contrast control through enlarger filtration. You may find that by fine tuning the exposure time on your enlarger at zero contrast will give you a better idea about how you are exposing and developing the negative.
