Broken toe/dislocation?

Hi,
I'm hoping there will be someone who has been through similar or is a vet on here who can give me an opinion on what is wrong with my cats toe?
I noticed on Saturday his toe was swollen, red and seemed to be hurting him so I gave him some metacam I have left over from his sisters spaying op and waited over the weekend to see if it went down. He was still eating, playing and cheerful (he's only 6 months old)
Anyway swelling hasn't gone down but redness has. The toe is floppy and easily manipulated and doesn't seem to be causing him any pain at all now. He lay there happily purring as I was poking it earlier.
Took him to vets today and they have suspected broken toe and want to x-Ray. They have just sent me an email with estimation cost and I can't believe my eyes!!!! Will also attach this! I'm thinking I need another opinion before going ahead with this? Any ideas?

I've noticed the invoice/estimation looks blurry so incase it is for others basically the total is £536!!! For an x-Ray and all that comes with that i.e. anaesthetic, equipment use, pain relief etc!

£536 for an r ray seemed excessive. If he's fairly placed will he allow them to hold him? Or dust give some mined sedation?
