OIII Filter

Not too long ago I got a 2nd hand Lumicon UHC filter and I have been really impressed with it. Eta Carina in particular shows a huge improvement in size and detail.

So I was wondering whether an OIII filter would be useful in my scope and conditions (10" GSO Dob, dark skies, a little white light pollution to the NE)?

Is the 10" a bit small, are the benefits of OIII only for a few objects cf the UHC? Any other comments?
