Thanks for the input. Most of my riding will be on the road, with the occasional foray off road on tame paths along the river, nothing too gnarly so looks like I can save the £50 towards getting a 46/30 crank and new fd
If you think that road bikes have steeper head angles, it doesn't make them go any faster but it makes the steering feel more direct and agile, which makes it feel faster and more engaging
