Nisi circular filters

How good are Nisi circular filters? I have used only B + W up to this point. I wanted to try Breakthrough Photography filters, but Breakthrough Photography appears to have severe manufacturing problems in terms of long delays on most products.

So how good are Nisi filters and Nisi customer support?

Is there something wrong with the B+W filters?  If they get the job done, then why spend money duplicating them?

Also echo Waddizle's question.  I have only used B+W CPLs.  I also invested a bit extra for the low-transmission versions which I really like since it lessens the light loss and I think there's only a half-stop difference between the "minimum" and "maximum" effects.

Maybe the OP isn't duplicating what he has but looking to buy filters for new lenses. 

B+W filters are very good but that doesn't mean that other products may be very good as well.

Yes, of course.  That is why I asked a question, instead of giving out advice.  Why the switch to a different brand?

Never used one because I have no reason to not use B+W filters. (of any kind!)

I have never tried them but the couple of reviews I have read have rated them as some of the best quality filters available although after looking at the price of them I would expect them to be.
