Are the bundled ZWO filters worth it.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a ZWO 533, I'm just wondering if it's worth paying the extra 100 or so quid for the duo band and IR cut filters or save my pennies and buy something more expensive in the future.

It's really light pollution that I'm trying to reduce.  I live on the edge of a market town, my garden is surrounded on three sides, it's a new estate so I can see 20+ windows, most of which are lit when I first go out in the evening.  There are also a couple of LED street lamps, but I can avoid the direct light from these by hiding my scope in the shadow of a wall.

As far as the duo band goes, I'm stepping up from a few years of using a second hand 450D so I'm sure I'll have enough fun without it. I understand that when I feel the need there are other filters available but for the price it might be fun to see what it can do.
