Windshield - fix or replace?

My 1995 940 has a windshield crack that I had fixed 4 years ago. At first it was about 7" long, but now it's grown to about 11" with a curve at the end. The crack is at the bottom of the center and insurance won't cover it.

I stopped into one of those shopping mall mobile glass repair tents and the guy said he could fix it for $50 with a guarantee.

I can't decide what to do. I know some windshield repair places will come to you, so that'd be great. I've also had a windshield on my previous 240 that took about 6 hours of waiting around to be replaced at the shop and they had to do it twice. When I had it worked on a few years later the guy said it had been done wrong without the correct plastic clips that a Volvo windshield needs.

I called the local Volvo mechanic and he said just any place would be okay. But I wish I had more of a recommendation to go on. I live in Seattle.

Thanks for any tips... Fix it again? (I understand that windshields get more brittle with age, so I don't know)... Replace it? (I know it won't look at classy as the original). I'm confused....
