Matt,

It's a far better option than the ND filter IMO if you must have one. However I still see absolutely zero need to reduce the brightness of Jupiter in a 9" scope. If you said you wanted a filter to "enhance" certain surface features I would agree, but I have no issues with the brightness of Jupiter and I have observed it unfiltered in scopes up to 25" and trust me in a 25" scope it's a lot brighter than in a 9"
