You canīt replicate the effect of a polarizer in post processing. So, at least that one, you will need. If the Marumi is out of your budget, stick with the Tiffen. But if you can afford it, go for the Marumi. Youīll thank me later.
Appart from being better optically, the "Super" part in the Marumi is for a coating that reppels water and oil (fingerprints, drops..) and makes it easier to clean it. Itīs like the "Super Protect" (SP) coating on your new DA18-135, That is a huge plus IMO, because you will surely use that lens on bad weather.
