you need clearance in the ceiling for the GU10. Otherwise they are turning out to be the most prolific type.

Don’t worry about the size of the hole, if it’s too big you can use these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183681012234
we had when we replaced the lights in our old kitchen as the holes were more chewed than cut and way over sized once the old lights, caulking and filler were removed

Okay, now I've got that measured I'm finding more things. Look like I can either go for something like this https://www.arrowelectricals.co.uk/recessed-round-led-panel-6000k-6w-in-white-finish/?sku=SPW6W-60&utm_term=&utm_source=googles&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PMax&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyKurBhD5ARIsALamXaHzu67NRh6lXaPrxb9Z5V-cNmefklEH21cQ6mdc4Xdzd9EWasdj0twaAnJCEALw_wcB but will not be able to plug and play with the existing driver, or I can get something like https://www.toolstation.com/gu10-low-voltage-downlight-ceiling-converter/p61411 and then just switch to GU10 dimmable bulbs.
Given that option 1 still needs me to cut wires and reconnect, I'm leaning toward option 2. There's a lot of insulation in the roof of this room, but seems to be a decent bit of room. I will make sure I measure and have at least 125mm before I order option 2.
Anything I'm missing, or other good reasons not to go for option 2, the gu10 converter?
