It makes no difference to visual, and degrades the signal significantly for photography.
The photos all come out looking too "blue" and i have to up the gain or increase the time significantly.
I reckon keep your money in your pocket.

cheers,
P.S. best bang for buck purchase i made was the IR/UV filter....this largely got rid of 'blobby' stars in the photos

Thanks for the suggestion, mate. I'll just get a UV/IR filter
