Post 2012 FX2 Window Tint

New user, 1st thread. Sorry this might get a little long winded.
I've read a good amount of posts on the forum re: window tint, and matching rear windows; which has helped considerably in making a decision. This really is a great outlet.
My questions are:
1) I've always used Llumar tint (metallic?) and have yet to be disappointed. In scheduling the appointment to get tint installed (Sat 9.22) they priced a ceramic film that was twice the price of Llumar but kept out considerably more heat. Living in FL, this interests me immensely. Is it actually worth the cost?
2) Best tint matches I have seen are done with Grey Llumar film at 15-20% over front windows only. Is there another metallic film that matches Ford's pre-tinted glass better than Llumar Grey?
3) If I do decide to splurge on the ceramic film should I be concerned about matching the back? Do the ceramic films have a different appearance or sheen? Unfortunately I have no basis for comparison...
If any of you don’t mind wasting a minute or two of your time for me I would greatly appreciate a few user photos showing the front two windows tinted against rear factory tinted glass; and if you wouldn’t mind telling me who's tint and the percentage - it would be a GREAT help.
Thanks in advance for any comments/responses.

YouTube is a good idea. I will check that out as well. Thank's for the advice.
