However, the resulting image may still appear relatively bright and adding say a variable polarised filter or a Continuum filter (added contrast) may make viewing more comfortable.

I find the SC also improves the amount of detail you see, but does give you a lime green image of the sun. If not using the SC, I usually add a ND 0.9 filter with the 3.0, I don't use the single polarizer.
