I've tested Baader film and my Thousand Oaks glass filter on the same 80mm Ed refractor.

I don't like the white image with Baader Film. The Baader eyepiece filter that turns the image yellow, makes things a bit more pleasing. But I've never seen more detail on the sun with the Baader film than I've seen with the Thousand Oaks filter, which delivers a very pleasing yellow orange image.

That said, I know I'm in the minority.
Cheers,
Renato
