Are Aerotwin blades worth the 2x premium over standard?

Yep.

They do Valeo in a twin, but not Bosch.

Nothing wrong with the Valeo flat wipers (apart from their confusing model number scheme and incomplete application list) I've had them on a number of cars over the years and they're great, current pair on the Cef have been on since March 2009 and still going strong.
 
Yes they are worth it.

I put some on the Focus back in August 2007. They are STILL in perfect working order today. No smudging, or squeaking. Ive had friends go through three pairs of cheap ones in the same timescale.

Think I paid £18 for two Bosch ones. When these do finally need replacing, ill have no hesitation in buying another set. And they look much better too.

Same here :)
 
my 2 pence

8 months ago I thought I'd be thrifty and get the flat blades made by WiperBlades.co.uk (their own brand ones) for the e46

These were ok for the first month and I thought 'sweet I saved some money' but they got worse over time - they started to not wipe from the middle of the blade as they weren't flush to the windscreen and started to judder annoyingly - this only affected the drivers side

I bit the bullet and bought the bosch flat aerotwins from the bay for £21 - money well spent imho *touch wood*

Exactly the same here, but i bought the cheap flat blades from Ebay and they suck - always leave a 1 inch bit where it doesn't clear properly, right in the middle of my FOV. Think i might get some Bosch ones. Did you get the ***** fit ones or the proper ones?
