follow up/put a cap on it for informational purposes for lurkers/future searchers:
verified that the hydrologic small boy with the KDF carbon filter removes BOTH chlorine and chloramine. also, it appears that it could be used portably (it's very lightweight and comes with a garden hose attachment) if you wanted to use it as such, which may be good thing depending on your situation.
tldr; if you want to remove only chlorine and chloramine and not much else this is the way to go. in contrast, any RO system removes everything.
something important i found out regarding the brita: both on its website and in the instructions on the filters it says not to filter more than 2 gal/day. helpfully, it doesn't say anything about what happens if you go over that.
so take that as you will.
hope that helps others.
