Have you thought of grabbing a new Orion Ultrablock filter? I have the 2" version, and also a 1 1/4" Lumicon UHC and have compared them side by side. The Orion shows remarkably similar results to the Lumicon - which is outstanding for the price. I think I paid under $100 for my 2" Ultrablock. No doubt prices continue to rise, but it should still be very well priced.
