I am not trying to critisize anything you said. This is just a calm and friendly question.

What "difference" are we supposed to notice from the picture? One filter has oil on it and the other doesn't.

I think your oil change plan is just fine. Piece of mind is.......priceless.
If you look close enough at the used filter, you will see metal shavings and I am not a hard driver or a haul-ass rider. I drive nice and easy. This picture tells me to change oil more often when breaking in. The oil in the pan looked darker to me than I would have expected from only 300 miles of easy-going driving.
