The reason it can work well with Ha (or any narrowband) is that you get strong SNR areas where there is stuff but not much anywhere else. Blending Ha does by definition degrade the Lum data to an extent by reducing anything that the Ha doesn't add to, like stars.

Except that one of the ways HA is blended with luminance is with a "lighten" layer in PS, thus only showing through where the HA is brighter than the Lum.
