Omega AstroFilters - what about their other filters?

So there's been this thread here recently about nebula filters and it seems the DGM NPB comes highly recommended. I'm going to get one.

Any comments on their HPOIII and GCE filters too?

The GCE reads like a light pollution filter. I already have the IDAS LPS-P2 which came highly recommend by most reviews I read at the time. Would you stick with what I've got, or would the GCE add much?

And would the HPOIII filter be a good OIII filter or are there more highly recommended ones - bang for buck.

Found this post on Cloudy Nights with some comments by "Mr Filters" David Knisley. Reads like he hadn't used the HP version of the OIII at that stage, and had preferred the Lumicon OIII over the non-HP OIII from DGM(?). He mentions that from the specs on the HPOIII it looks like it'll be similar to the Lumicon and Thousand Oaks.

Be a while before I get to test out the DGM OIII I recently bought from Omega. But I have nothing to compare it to so I'll just like it, I expect.

Thanks Eric. Been doing even more reading, and for the amount of visual I do, I think I'll be getting the DGM NPB and the HPOIII instead of the Lumicon. Won't bother with the GCE I think.

Tried to purchase online, but Omega Filters seem to be out of stock. Sent them an email.
