White light solar filters

Casstony,
I have the 1000 Oaks, Type 2, Baader and the JMB, Class A white light filters. The 1000 Oaks and the JMB both give a pinkish cast to the solar image whereas the Baader is white. The contrast is slightly better with the Baader, but not significantly so.
Unfortunately, when you've observed the Sun in Ha it's difficult to go back to white light! As mentioned a combination of the white light and a 7nm Ha filter seems to improve the contrast even more.....
