S-HMC is well worth the extra money. You get a better level of multicoating, for more complete protection against flare/glare.

SHMC transmits 99.7% of the light, whereas HMC transmits 97%. HMC was their top of the line only a decade ago. The Pro line perform no better than SHMC. The filter line with 'digital' (including the newest, HD) have lower transmission!
