Yes
I have been looking at these for a while now, and it seems that there are two versions Single Coated and Multi Coated (MRC). Warehouse express are selling them at approx £125 and £175. But have just found that Amazon themselves have the MRC version at a special price of £117.18 with free delivery. So I have just ordered one , still a lot of money, but the cheapest I have seen it for a while.

Hopefully I will be able to get out and about next week playing.
 
Never realised there was 2 versions?
Although I bought my B+W 10 stop from warehouse express about a month ago and it was £91.
Not sure about the coatings though?
 
Warehouse Express no longer stocks that version of filter, as I spoke to them today, although it is still on there website.
 
Yeah they no longer have the one I bought.
So are these newer more recent versions,or has there always been 2 options available?

When I spoke to Warehouse Express, they said that these two newer versions with coatings has replaced the other version. I believe that the coatings only help keep the filter scratch free.
 
The MRC coatings are designed to help with reducing flare and reflections as well as improving resistance to dirt/moisture/scratching.
 
Just recieved my B+W ND110 from fotosense on eBay, 77mm for £71. However i went and ordered a 67-77mm step-down ring instead of a step up ring, so can't use it at the moment on my current lenses
