And you will get large halos around brighter stars, even with best narrowband filters - no filter blocks 100% of the out-of-band light.

I feel that this effect also applies to some degree to extended objects (nebulae, galaxies) leading to smearing out of the signal and ultimately less crisp detail in the DSOs. I'm talking pretty pictures, as I have no experience with spectroscopy.
