The thicker the regular glass is the greener it gets 3mm is a lot clearer than 12mm. In my opinion it is not worth it to get Starphire unless it is 12mm or thicker. Glass that I buy is always priced out to the nearest even inch this allows for cutting. Not sure how other places price glass though. Also polish work adds a fair bit off cost, but yes it looks a lot better.
Also it's a good idea to have your holes drilled before you put it together it will be cheaper as they can do it from both sides that way.
