Question Orion filters - SkyGlow & UltraBlock

In the recent equipment review article by Phil Harrington in Astronomy ("Secret weapons", Aug 2005, p. 82), the Orion SkyGlow came out on top amongst the broadband filters, and the Orion UltraBlock rated very well too amongst the narrowband filters, for visual observation. In the latest issue of Aust. S&T, these are advertised for $110 & $160, respectively, for the 1.25" variants.

Do you own either of these filters? What do you think of them? Are they are worth the $$?
