Currently I use a Fox 40 mini - is the classic any different and what are Tornado like - the weird shape has put me off but I've heard they're really good?

If your thinking of getting a normal classic I would recommend a fox 40 eclipse it has the same 115 db but a higher tone like the tornado
 
I use the Fox 40 Sonik Blast CMG. It is very loud! I might down grade it as I swear at full time my ears are ringing and that cannot be good!
 
I use a 60+ year old acme thunderer that my grandad gave me when he packed up refing, it hasn't failed me yet(touch wood)
 
+1 sonik blast

You will need to practise a little to get the subtle tone changes needed
 
Having tried the Tornado and the Classic, I find the Tornado far preferable. Not only is it louder with a nicer tone, but I find that it fits in my hand far better than the Classic.
