I'd use tempered. Just not worth the risk and it only adds like $10-$20 more. If I don't use tempered glass, then I use plexi. |

I got a piece for my cocktail cabinet tempered for $100+ (can't remember exactly what I paid) and I was quoted $35 for the exact same piece without the tempering... |

So far the difference between temptered and non-tempered is on par with what was listed above - $20 - $30. The cost for the glass has ranged almost 200% from the quotes I've received (500% if you count One Day Glass) so I'm not surprised you'd get different prices. |

There is going to be some fudge factor for different size glass, but it also depends on where you go and where you live. I'm not a glass expert and only know about what I have been quoted and bought. Two-bits sells the tempered to fit a Pac Cocktail for $89. The last two pieces I had done locally were $25 and $40. I only had regular glass quote on the last one and it was ~$20 IIRC. |

So I can get it cheaper, and considerably faster by purchasing from a Washington store, and shipping via FedEx to my house. That really makes zero logical sense. |
