I think Astronomiks are probably the current best bang for buck. Mike uses them and his images are superb.
The Astronomiks I had did good colour but needed that stupid plastic spacer to fit (cost over $100 for that - still annoyed!).
They have also improved their filters over the years and also have a nice range of clip in DSLR filters.
I don't like the Baaders much. Not parfocal and not 1:1:1 exposure values.
Also the colours were different. A bit more reddish overall. Reflections may still be an issue. I notice QHY600 images on Astrobin using Baaders had nasty reflections. But to be fair they didn't say how old the Baaders were. Gen 2 have antireflection coatings.
Make sure whatever you get that they have good antireflection coatings or you'll get nasty reflection halos on bright stars.
Greg.
