Yellow #12 has long been touted to be equal or even better than most fringe killer filters. And much less cost. Be sure to include that in your tests. Several forums have had folk test #8 and #12 yellows with and without UV/IR cut filters co-fitted and comparisons made against high end fringe killers.
