Which network provider are you with in the UK? If you have the money upfront for the phone, you may find it cheaper to buy the phone outright and go on a PAYG or rolling Monthly Contract.

You can purchase a 920 for pretty cheap now on eBay around $300-$350.
I personally love the screen of my 920. The 16 gigs of memory is a huge deal breaker. Plus there is no micro-USB card slot..

My work pays for my phone bill so I can go with any provider; contracts/deals aren't an issue, I'm just looking for some opinion on the handsets.
If you're in the UK, Tesco Direct are knocking out SIM-free 920's in Black, White, Red and Yellow for ?230. Personally I'd buy a 920 outright and get a nice cheap contract.
I'm a fan of the 920 look and feel, double the storage and the wireless charging. The 925 doesn't do it for me looks-wise and isn't worth the additional cost in my opinion when you can pick up the 920 so cheaply.
can anybody tell if there is a big difference between the level of blacks between the amooled 925 vs 920 ips LCD?
You'd notice it but it's not really a big issue as the 920 still gives good blacks compared to other ips screens

only thing boggling my mind to choose between the two is actually the waight and screen differences..
If this would be of any help. Left It's my 920 and right is my 925

With regards to weight, i never considered the 920 heavy. Compared to modern phones, yes but it doesn't feel like a heavy brick. 925 is indeed light though and thin

are there any real world advantage/ disadvantage of each phone?
do you find the black level too far from one another? i really want the information on the blacks.
do you find it hard to keep the 925 scratch free?

AMOLED usually has noticeably more vibrant colors and darker blacks (unless the whole screen is black but powered, and then you get ugly blotches on many AMOLEDs). However, the IPS screen is sharper because it has the full RGB stripe sub-pixel array, and the AMOLED is PenTile which produces a checkered look to the screen. At the 925's resolution, you need good eyes or good corrective lenses to notice, and it doesn't bother most people, but looks hideous to some (like me). It's the reason I just bought a 920 instead of a 1020 even though I really, really wanted the nice camera.
