Default Racking and then filter/bottle right afterwards?

Ok, I'm curious. What do you expect to settle out if you have filtered it?

I kind of take the opposite approach. Filtering I think is kind of rough on
a wine. I always filter into a carboy containing a fresh dose of sulfite and
then bottle it right away. I figure if it is going to have bottle shock
anyway, why not just bottle it after I have "filter shocked" it.
