How good is the Meade LRGB dichroic filter set?

How do these filters :

compare to say a Baader set? Any thoughts?

the Meade set do not all have ir lenses, only the lumiance filter does, therefore when you image when just using the filters you can get what is called star bloat, you could add a uv/ir filter in the line up somewhere but it`s alot easier if the filters had the ir element built in, i use the astronomik lrgb type 2 filters alot more expensive than the Meade but alot better quality being parfocal and uv/ir.

Cheers, I will go for the more expensive Baader or Astronomik ones
