Also, can anyone recommend a good tamper under ~£25?
Honestly I'd just go for the cheapest thing that fits well. Presuming it's a 58mm basket you should have a huge selection to choose from. I've used all sorts of tampers expensive & cheap (including a fucking garish Rapha Chris King one) and I've never found a noticeable difference.
Main thing for me is how comfortable to hold it is. Though now that I'm using it 1 or 2 times per day instead of 300 or so, that's less of a concern.

So I picked up the cubika. It's pretty clean and to my novice eyes seems to be functioning although I haven't pulled a shot yet. The grouphead dribbles a bit but is this just the system releasing over pressure? Also, can anyone recommend a good tamper under ~£25?
