I guess the other thing I'd add to your excellent summary, is variation within the Broad band filters.

My old Lumicon Deep Sky is a broad broadband - only useful at a dark site, pretty ineffective in light polluted skies.

My old Celestron LPR is a narrow broadband - almost halfway to a UHC filter, images are a bit dim in my old lightpolluted backyard.

My Orion Skyglow is between the latter two, very fond of it.

The good thing about these filters, is that if one has the right pair of binoculars, you only need to stick one onto one of the eyepieces with blu-tack to get excellent enhanced binocular views (much better than using a filter on each eyepiece).
Cheers,
Renato
