In any case, taking pics through filters reduces the sensitivity and resolution of your mono camera as well.

Taking pics with a mono camera through filters does reduce the sensitivity, but not the resolution. The big advantage is the ability to do luminance frames and make use of all the photons in the visible range.
I am a nomadic imager who started with an OSC and moved to a mono camera very quickly. The better quality is worth the extra time and effort to me. I understand that others may make different choices...
