Robert,
Maybe I'm ignorant about such things but just like in football I don't think you can "pass" and "block" at the same time. I guess the outcome is "unknown" if you stack an IR Pass filter on an IR Block filter.

One of my Red filters has IR blocking and the other does not. I find that the images with the non-blocked filter tends to burn out in high red areas like Aethiopis while the blocked filter does not. If I used the non-blocked filter I'd likely use it with a blocking filter.
