Looks to me like the HMC gives more light transmission.

Well, if I understood this test correctly, it shows the amount of reflection on the filter itself. The round object that is visible on the monitor screen is (as I see/understand it) a reflection of the lamp and the bulb in the lamp on the surface of the filter. The more this reflection is visible, the worse the coating of the filter. So from this test, I would choose HMC Super.

Goal is to be as close as the unfiltered image as possible, I presume - so it's the Super, here (and for the money you pay for it, I hope so!)
