I dont know what to tell you, you've seemed to come to a conclusion that youre happy with. The consensus here is to either stay R12 or Convert to R134a. Again with you living in the UK, you will probably never reach ambient temperatures where the difference between the two refrigerants will be...
If youre having to get a recharge, chances are your system is leaking anyways. I can see it losing a charge over a long period of time (20+ years) or from just sitting. Changing the components isn't rocket science, its easier than doing the head gasket. You can leave the recharging to a shop...

4.3psi or 0.3 kg/cm^2 is the minimum spec allowed.
New or healthy 7Ms generate around 1 kg/cm^2 or 14.2psi at idle. At 3000rpms its 36-71psi or 2.5-5.0kg/cm^2.
Likewise the minimum spec allowed for 2JZ engines are 0.5 kg/cm^2 or 7.1psi at idle (Health 2JZ engines produce more than this at...
