FWIW. It all depends on your seeing conditions att. It's just that you may not be able to bump up the mag due to those said conditions & this is where the UHC & OIII filters come good. For viewing a wide field object at low/med power they are just fine. They let you see more details. Try a UHC on the Tarantula at med to high mag in good conditions. You'll be amazed at the amount of detail you can see if you take your time at the eyepiece to let your eye/s dark adapt to the 'new view'.
But, everyones eyes are different, so all equipment is personally subjective.
