The thinnest glass Kolari will put on a FF sensor is 1.0mm thick.

Where I'm going with this is that I actually prefer an extended red sensitivity for B&W work. I'm an old Tech Pan film shooter, and I thought its rendering was closer to how I print landscapes than was standard B&W (or color) film. Given my style of shooting, what could be a step forward, at least in spectral sensitivity, might be an M8 type glass, but on a modern full frame camera -- Leica M or Sony a7r lines being the top contenders for me. While I'm a B&W printer mostly, I'd still rather have the M8 glass on a color sensor. Filtering (including the "split channels" in Photoshop) and selecting by color range is too important for me to switch to a Monochrome -- or so I think for now.
