Hard to tell from just two photos.

Comes down to how the camera will be predominantly used most the time.

If you are mostly using the camera for astronomy , and rarely use it for daylight "happy" snaps and don't mind stuffing up your warantee , and are prepared to risk disassembling your camera (which may have cost over $1800 or more if a full frame if bought locally , which is not an insignificant amount of money for most of us , and a significant outlay ) , don't mind limiting yourself to only EF lenses to "undo" the mod with a dropin filter (also from Hutech ) , and the expense involved in all this.
Or have more than one camera. Go for it.

But - some of us only have the one good DSLR and it is used predominantly for "happy" snaps then the expense involved , jepodising the warantee , and deterioration in colour response for daylight photography ("fix" dropin and custom white balancing aside) is simply not worth the bother.
