thinking about milking my work's cycle to work scheme to get myself an MTB. Scheme is limited to Evans Cycles. If you had up to a grand to drop, what would you get?

I just want to pootle around Epping Forest, so I guess I don't need to get carried away. Like is there such a significant difference between this at £800 and this at £1000 that I'd be a chump to buy one and not the other?

Pinnacle Iroko 1 would be my pick. Proper tyres, proper brakes, modern geometry and standards, coated aluminium fork stanchions, decent gear kit. And it looks nice.

Spend a hundred on a Brand X dropper post from CRC and you're good to go.

Interesting, hadn't clocked that one. I like that it has actual boost spacing and not the bullshit 141mm QR Boost which everything else at this price range seems to suffer.
