Shawn;

I would get the inexpensive Cokin filter holder.  Then I would get an
expensive Tiffen GLASS graduated filter (the .6 is the 2-stop model). 
In this case, you may need to get the Cokin 'P' series holder cause I
think the Tiffens only come in the 'big' size.  I recommend against the
Cokins ONLY because they have a slight color cast IME. If you're not
THAT critical, the plastic Cokins in the A size and the A size holder
should be fine.  Hope this helps.
