The extra £50 isn't a deal breaker, so much as a not buy something else just yet figure. So for my £100 budget options, am I looking at Park Tool offerings vs Norbar or is there a third way?

Well, the official #tester_approved torque wrench is the old Syntace one which AFAIK was a re-branded Britool with a Cal.Cert. The current Syntace one is by Wera, available as Wera for a bit less here

If £50 price difference is a deal breaker, I refer you back to my original comment. You're buying something which should last a home mechanic a decade or more, and if you're any kind of a bike nut that means thousands of pounds worth of parts, not to mention your face, will depend on important threaded joints both not snapping and not loosening in service. Don't nickel-and-dime the issue now.
