Anyone wants to have a stab at guessing what the election result/map might have been if there was a two round runoff system?

I don't think all that many seats would change hands; although a fair few would have very different majorities. Some that would flip:

*Hornchurch
*Enfield Southgate
*Bethnal Green & Bow
*Shrewsbury & Atcham
*Forest of Dean
*Weston-super-Mare
*Shipley

Belfast South, obviously.
Quite a number of seats in Scotland outside the Central Belt, most likely.
And if people don't vote tactically in teh first round because it's two round anyways (think the last French presidentials), you could have some really bizarre results in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

One area where there could be a big change is East Anglia

Come to think of it, all of the "True Blue" area would be a mix of Blue and Orange. If Labourites turn up for the second round of voting, that is.
