I probably worded that a bit badly.. What I mean is that a UHC passes the same lines as an O3 plus a few others. However like you said some objects, often planetary nebula, respond better to the more restrictive O3, but a good UHC will still provide a good boost to the same objects. Overall a UHC filter is more versatile, but if you can afford it get both.
