Calling Window Tint Gurus

I called for estimates for my 09 CBP Sport asking specifically for ceramic film. Here are the estimates I got

3M $190
Solargard Supreme $200
Formula One Pinnacle $280

As a whole, these look pretty reasonable. Is there enough info here to make an intelligent decision? Is there a compelling reason one of these films is significantly better than another? Thanks for any input you might have.

I paid $150 (cash) for the five back windows of my 09 Fit. It was Madico film IIRC.

Have you checked Tintworks? They are also a LLUMAR distributor. I paid $165 for mine for all the windows about 18 months ago w/LLUMAR film.

Thanks for the responses so far. The Formula quote was from Tintworks. I will call them back to ask about the Llumar. Does anyone have any experience with the relative merits of the different brands of ceramic film?
