Hi Greg,
I would say a sony a7s or a7s2 is better than the canon, the dynamic range is better and you can pull out much more in the shadows (cleanly) with the Sony, having owned a 6d, then selling it for thd a7s which i got full spectrum modified by mike malik.
I went the full spectrum modification, it gives me the versatility to shoot IR aswell. As for filters, there are several options for filters so thr camera can be used to shoot in daylight as before the modification. A UV/IR cut filter will likely be overly red or it will cut out too much of the Halpha emission, depending on how the cuttoff works at the red end of the spectrum. I use a HEUIB-II filter from Hutech, they are fantastic and can be used for regular daytime use also.
The 3rd filter down on this page:

Is the one I use on my sony full frame sensor even though it says it's for crop sensors, it works fine and it is the one they will likely recommend for you.
