Yea I use a UV filter too, but I still like the hood being on for when you need to put the camera down on a hard surface - the underside of the lens doesn't touch anything then.
Not noticed the 'still allows flare' problem though, thing is unless you have some kind of bucket at the end of your lens at 17mm I imagine you'll always be susceptable to a bit of the dreaded flare ??
If you do get to try another hood though please let us know how it is........
