slic3rPE: how do I switch between printers?

My setup:
Prusa mk3 mmu2
random delta printer

In the past I've used slic3r set up for the delta, and slic3rPE for the Prusa. Since there have been big changes made to the slicer by the Prusa version, I'm trying to use it for both. Here's what I do to switch from the Prusa to the delta:

change printer, all settings flip to delta

And to go from the delta back to the Prusa:

change printer
change print settings
change filament 5 times

Is that a bug? Or am I missing an obvious way that keeps all of the extruders/filaments/print settings associated properly?

I'm using alpha5 of the 1.42 line.

I'm using alpha5 of the 1.42 line.

I'm also using alpha5 and have noticed that changing the filament selection in the upper right-hand corner of the platter tab doesn't always stick (possibly with other selections, but I mostly remember filament). If I switch to the filament tab and select my preset there it seems to stick.

I haven't done enough experimentation to isolate how and when that bug appears though.
