breakthrough dark polarizer 6 stops question

actually i will be in new jersey in march so i will possibly add get this filter in march
i was just wondering about how visible is the polarizer effect through the viewfinder when using this dark polarizer...
  
i am also adding the 15 stop nd . even though i have the 6 and 10 stop , i think that having a slim 15 stop is still better then stacking ... more practical....and thinner if stacking with other gnd...

thanks for the input !!!!!!!!!!!!
