Nick,
I would recommend the Baader 35nm Ha as a better universal sub aperture ERF filter.

I would avoid the Baader UV/IR. We used to offer it but it did not stop a polariser getting burnt behind it on a 100mm scope. The astronomik seems much better despite having a window in the calcium band. As Merlin66 says, a 35nm Ha is better still.
