Alternate answer: do you actually need them both at once? I can't think of many things where you're likely to be exposed to organics vapours and fine dust at the same time. Not that it's going to hurt, of course, but it may shorten the life of your filters.

Spraying in enclosed spaces can generate a hell of a lot of dust, make sure you use both.

Ah, makes sense - I only ever spray stuff outside on a good day, so it's not something I considered!
