To protect such an expensive lens front element I got a 82mm filter too. Well the shop recommended it actually but I have a choice to change it back to something else if required.The one which I got is the H&Y, UV/IR MRC CUT Filter , sold to me as the best one for the L lens, but it was expensive. It was HKD 1750 (about USD 230 I guess), whereas the regular UV filter was HKD 450ish (Rollei).
Did I just get sold snake oil ?

If money was not an issue for a lifetime - what would you be doing instead of what you do now ?
any piece of glass you put in front of your lens will reduce image quality ... the more money you spend, the less you may notice ... but if you scratch the filter will you replace it? a digital camera already filters UV without needing another filter ...
i would buy a lens hood instead of a UV filter, it reduces glare and increases contrast, which no filter could ever do ... use it all the time to block glare from any source, day and night, and if it gets scratched you don't have to replace it ... my lens hood has many scratches and my lens is fine ...
i would rather use plastic for protection than glass, your car bumper is not made of glass ...
the official canon lens hood ew-88c costs about $55 usd ... you may be able to find it for less ...
