Encoding URLs: KM Filter vs Custom Plugin

###Any Reason to use Custom Plugin?

I wrote a macro nearly a year ago that uses:

I use the results of this in an Action to Open New TAb with URL:
%Variable%SGC__SearchURL%%Variable%SGC__SearchText%

###But now, I don't know why I should use this plugin?

Is the KM Filter good enough:

The KM Wiki article on Filter Variable action does not provide any real details about this filter.

Is there a material difference between the custom plugin and the KM filter?

Just two archaeological layers - go for the filter, or do it in-line with JS.

(I think the plugin was written before, or possibly just in ignorance of, the filter)

Thanks for the clarification.
