Your nine pole rotary switch is by far the most expensive component.  Opamps are cheap, discrete trannies are cheap, passives are hell of a cheap.

Build four filters, one with each capacitance range, and pick whichever output you want to use.  If you use surface-mount parts the whole thing will still be smaller than the original.
