My suggestion is to keep searching the Toyota forums to at least get a full picture of the options.

plus cost of cutting plus coding.
Looking at my daughters Y2000 Yaris key , that should be easy to cut.
I can only comment re Jaguar X type keys but I suspect some aspects of Toyota are similar.
Cost of a OE replacement from main dealer varies but may be £200 ++.
Three requirements for mine having got a blank replacement a. cut the physical shaft of the key. b. code the remote door locking etc. c program the transponder chip with the car.
c. is the expensive task, with the car present the main dealer plugging in the diagnostic kit and using appropriate software.
Not all locksmiths have the kit. The diagnostic kit is available and some folks DIY.
I have two fully functioning keys. With these I can program additional keys/ transponders myself.
Folks with only one key can get a "copy" from some locksmiths but it is literally a copy and does not allow programming additional keys.
