I would add that if flare were a possible issue (say, with light streaming at a vicious angle across the lens--shooting into the sun isn't anything MC can handle) with a SC variant then I'd simply go with a quality MC slim filter--and in that scenario a B+W would spring immediately to mind based on my (happy) experience with them.

This would be a waste of time and money: An MC filter in front of your lens does not make your lens any better at handling flare. Even the best filter can only be transparent, and the air that the filter replaces is already a very good approximation of that perfect filter. At best you could only hope for your filter to act as a small lens shade, and it would even be more expensive than a real lens shade.
