Toughened ones shatter when they're hit. Laminated ones tend to stay in one piece.  I personally would always go for laminated, but then again some of the laminated screens I've had over the years have delaminated in areas and gone a bit discoloured too.  I replaced the last screen in mine because it had started to get milky strips in it and you could see them when the sun was on the screen.  It was only about 5 years old too.

Glad to be of absolutely no help in your decision

Cheers for that, I was aware of the differences but unaware on the general opinions of fitting a older / inferior quality screen.

Screens in, that leaves:

 

• fit new fuse box
• wire up fan
• wet and dry then mop whole car
• fit arches
• wire up headlights
• bleed brakes
• correct tracking and ride height
• wax oil
• fit mirror

MOT next friday i reckon, tomorrow i will ring up all the insurance companies.
