Personally, get the DBK, as you can add the filter later, when, and if you need it. Sometimes not having it is a bonus, other times, having it is good. Best of both worlds, but it will cost you more to get the filter. I always opt for the flexibility option.

I could start out with the monochrome version and only take B & W images. Then when I feel I am ready to advance, I can buy a filter wheel to take colour images.
I'm lazy, and for what it is, I could not be bothered with the filters and stuff (I already have that with my SBIG camera). For me the DBK was about more "instant" gratification with bigger resolution than a 640x480 webcam.

My results with the DBK31 (slightly bigger chip at 1024x768) are here:
