I now have a Lunt Hershell wedge and these , like Matts Baader wedge are even better at viewing subtil markings , surface detail and sunspot details are easier seen but that's at a price  they are NOT ! cheap .
One more thing the 1000 oaks glass filter is much sturdier than Baader solar film .
Welcome to the wonderful world of solar observing ,,, I am out looking at the sun now ( Lunt wedge and Tak sky90 ) and there are some huge sun spots visible  at the moment .

Hey Brian,
Got my TO Solar Filter this week. I went for glass type to ensure integrity of the film, as I have never been a big fan of the film type filters. The film type is too easily damaged. Will try the filter out over the weekend.
Next step, a Lunt Pressure Tuned Ha telescope
Cheers Pete
