I've done the same thing, and I know many people that use only didymiums and swear that they are all you need. However, I don't think that anyone can make the argument that more protection is a bad thing. For that reason, I use the most protection I can find. I have not done any research and I don't claim to know all about the hazards associated with working glass, but I'm of the "better safe than sorry" mindset. If some protection is good, more has to be better.

I guess I should add, though, that most of what I do is larger pieces using a large flame. I also do a lot of fuming...
