Default Starting to look better (Glass)

Im STILL trying to get this glass thing sorted but its looking a bit better, Im guessing that it just simply comes down to pesonal preference.
With the glass plugin that I installed it actually gave me not just 2 surfaces, but about 10!! I had 5 ext and 5 int but when you selected the polys it would only say 1 very frustating but nearly there.
Should I reflect the HDRi or should I use another thing to reflect it?

10 surfaces seams like a little bit much. The reflections dont seam to flow across the surfaces well.

Here is a really cool tutorial that has some real good glass settings and explanations.
