Another vote for the Svart here, fantastic value for money, no problems with it so far, and consistent enough for filter with various brew methods.

Is the step up from a £40-£60 basic burr grinder to any of the c.£150 machines recommended upthread worth it for my usage?
100%
The upgrade from a £40 Krups GVX231 to a Sage Dose Control has been a game changer.
The Dose Control grinds without creating nearly as many fines which has a huge impact on the quality of our french press and filter coffee. If I had known how much of a difference it would make I would not have bought the Krups in the first place.

I wanted the Wilfa but it's rarely in stock anywhere, so went for the Baratza Encore which often gets mentioned in the same breath and compared with the Wilfa.
I upgraded from a £80 Dualit (bought from ebay for £40) to the Baratza (RRP £140, I got it for ~£80) and the difference is night and day.
Getting some cheap scales to weigh your beans and water will make a massive difference also.

I use a Porlex Tall II for Aeropress and Clever Dripper at the office, works great, get one!

Thanks all for the helpful suggestions. Guess I shouldn't be surprised that most of recommendations are a fair bit more than I was hoping to spend.
As I only drink filter or press I tend to eyeball quantities based on the beans I'm using . I don't really feel the need for dose control. Is the step up from a £40-£60 basic burr grinder to any of the c.£150 machines recommended upthread worth it for my usage?
I'm leaning towards the Svart mainly because it's
a: a funny word
b: less money than the others
