Solar Film Comparison?

Starting to get a bit late for deciding I know, but has anybody got any opinions on which is better, Baader or Thousand Oaks? Is there much difference in the images that you will see through them or are they much the same? Also is there anywhere in the UK that stocks the thousand oaks film? I can't seem to find any other than by ordering direct from USA.

Just found them on RVO's website, so the question remains, which is the better? Is the Thousand oaks as good as the price difference suggests?

Thousand Oaks imparts a gold/yellow/orange tint to the view, and to my eye reduces contrast.

I'd go for the Baader, that's just my opinion though ;)

After a lot of opinions both here and on SGL I plumped for Baader, hopefully they remember to pack the sun with it though......

I got mine today. There is some sun - I can tell because the clouds are glowing really rather brightly B)
