Either way, I'm happy with the performance of the OIII/Hb filter of theirs. Performs differently from the NPB I have, like an OIII would.

If premium prices are out of reach, or not important to one, the more modestly priced filters will still do a good job. You won't be looking into soup if that's what worries. But, I do think being properly informed is most important, regardless of one's ultimate choice. Picked up a couple of things too myself.
Alex,

A friend and myself did a shootout between the Omega / DGM O-III and an Orion Ultrablock and there was no difference at all !!!
