Polar Pro ND FIlters Vivid or Shutter

[StevenPSCC]

Vivid or shutter ? I'm not sure what way to go with purchasing one or the other, I live in the north of England and bright sunny days are few and far between, so my brain says I should get the 'Vivid' my questions are....
1. ND/PL do I have to attach the filter by looking through it first like I would on a DSLR to see the polarising effect or does it not matter so much on what way up the filter goes on ?
2. As the colours are more vivid will that make a difference on colour profiles i.e. D-log so it would be best to use the normal profile rather than a flat profile ?
Thanks

NDs in general are not essential, I wouldn't be deliberately adding weird colours you can do that easy enough afterwards yourself.

Here's a good video that compares the PolarPro Vivid filter collection against the PolarPro Shutter filter collection:
