I have high hopes for the Breakthrough circular polarizers, but they are brand new, and the two I ordered in the initial offering have not yet arrived. My go to filter for polarizers for many years has been B+W, and you might want to consider them as an alternative to waiting for Breakthrough. Besides places like B&H, there is company that specializes in filters, and they provide good service and reasonable prices. Here is a link:

I know its going to take a bit of time but these days I seem to be less in a hurry to let my money leave my wallet. after using the Tiffen Digital HT (High Transmission) polarizers to begin with I stopped working with my B+W because of the light loss differences between the two (filter factor) due to the newer foils used by Tiffen. so I sold off the B+W stuff awhile back (about 3 maybe 4 years ago). BT looks to be using the same and or slightly improved versions of these foils in theirs. I wish I had a 3 year old B+W filter still to show you the rather pronounced difference which was over 1/3 stop. only recently has B+W come out with their HTC version.
so I still have a 77mm Tiffen and now a 82mm BT. I am currently using the BT one only. (yes its only been a few weeks )
on the subject of the frames. yes, the BT frame has, i'm going to hate saying it, better traction/grip for use with and w/o gloves.
