I went with the 3M Crystalline but in the 70 (I was originally thinking of 90 which is the lowest, but between the two it so not any darker, so 70 it was). No issues so far, but I've only had it on since May 20th so just over a month.
Would you mind posting a photo of the 70% tint on your car?
I normally tint my cars 30% sides and rear, and 50% windshield, but I think 70% all around would be just enough to keep the UV rays out and darken the interior ever so slightly. Also, I think the all-black interior will make 70% tint appear darker.

Here are two of them. I went with 70% for two reasons. I wanted the Sport Seats Plus Backrest Shells in Ruby Star Neo to show through the rear window (see below), plus in my area many cars get pulled over for dark tint, so I wanted enough to not make it obvious and to keep my skin from burning... I tinted all windows the sane 70% (meaning that only 30% of light is blocked). I'll try to get some side shots later today, but the second one you can see the rear window vs. the front passenger fully down in comparison.

thanks for this! I thought 70% would have been a little darker. I'm wondering if 50% all around would be better for me...
@Cartod I am getting my car tinted in August. 35 on the sides and back, then 70 on the front, can you tell me if the back should be lighter?
Tint preference is highly subjective to the individual owner, and highly objective to the law depending on the state or province you're living in. In Ontario, Canada, you can't have anything darker than 35% on the front side windows, and it's illegal to tint the windshield.
To answer your question, there's no right or wrong answer. Have the installer cut a piece of tint in different percentages and choose the one you like most. I've also liked darker tints but on the 911 I think I'll keep it on the lighter side. Just enough to block the UV rays and some sunlight while still being able to see the interior and show off my "spec" LOL
