I always wonder who gets these prices that the companies quote ie. from £395 per eye, my sister paid £3200 and her eyesight still isn't up to scratch. I too have astigmatism and have been told by my optician that with my prescription I would not be suitable for laser surgery. If you are still convinced that you want it done, go somewhere reputable and get a quote based on your prescription and then decide, personally, although my eyesight is apalling, I can still see with my contacts and would hate to have surgery for it to go wrong and have worse or no sight at all, but maybe that's just me :)
