May just be your inexperience. When I first started using OIII filters I wondered what the fuss was about as I couldn't see anything but blackness and few green stars. After a few years things started to stand out. However if you have a lot of light pollution around it just may be too much. I'm not that experienced with LPR filters in a suburban environment so I'll let others help you with this one.

Recently purchased a Williams Optics WD-DIG125DI diagonal from Andrews Communications and it has improved the image quality and I mainly use a Hyperion 15mm eyepiece but sometimes I think the image is soft. Don't know if it is location, "seeing", me or the scope.

Without being able to look through it myself, my first suggestion would be the eyepiece. I've looked through lots of different types of eyepieces through my dob to see what they can do and some would be what I would describe as 'mushy'. So I guess that goes with your description of 'soft'. Only solution is trying different eps or looking through someone elses scope for comparison to pin the problem down.
