Haggling with currys

TV was stolen a few months back, it cost £500 from amazon and we got £600 from the agency handling our claim but it's in vouchers for currys and we couldnt find a 37" Samsung for £600 (which was what was stolen).
I'm guessing it's because currys inflate their prices for the sales commission so does anyone have any tips on going into a shop and haggling down a price when you've got insurance vouchers? The actual TV we had is end of life now, they are onto a next gen set, but surely if we get more money we should be able to get a better one?
We've seen a 32" for £399 and a 40" one for £699. (If anyone spots a better deal, let me know!)
It must be some kind of scam the agency has that you can only get your insurance claim from one particular shop but nevermind . (or PC world, but they are the same company! and more expensive )
Cheers

IF they don't offer cash, or you think they're taking the piss with the cash offer, complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
