light pollution filters

Hi all

What are people's opinions on filters to reduce light pollution? I've read their benefit is minimal these days with modern light pollution in the cities and suburbs.

Are they worth the spend at all, or are the benefits just too small to be worthwhile? Which provide any benefit (for visual).

I live in suburban Melbourne.

Thanks.

Edit: BTW I have searched for and read some threads on this, but they are either astrophotography-oriented or comparisons of a couple of specific models, etc. To me it seems like the answer is "don't bother", but any marginal improvement with a small outlay would be nice, mainly for DSO's. I know nothing beats dark skies but I can't wait until my retirement
