The Baader solarfilm does indeed give you a white light image. It is still so bright that you can add an orange eyepiece filter, say a Wratten #12, if you prefer.
In my opinion white light will give a fine view of the Venus transit, and it will be spectacular if there are some sunspots at the same time.
Note that no simple glass filter is going to give you views of prominences and flares -- for that you need an etalon type filter a la the Lunt or Coronado solar telescopes.
