Is it worth using a LP filter in dark skies

Hello,
I am considering purchasing a LP filter instead of a UV/IR filter for my imaging. I understand the obvious benefit of UV/IR for the reduction of aberrations for reflectors. While browsing these, I came across the Baader Neodymium filter, which I see is used to reduce the effect of light pollution. I live in Bortle 2 skies and while there is a streetlight nearby, my house blocks it and as far as I can see, it has no effect on my images. Is this filter worth using over the UV/IR filter even in dark conditions?
Thanks
