Do you think I will be able to use braid on these, to maybe try and get a few extra yards

Try and look for one second hand. Failing that then the Mitchell avocast are apparently very good, I've the spod version which does the job. The daiwa 25s mentioned will do, but are a bit small really for distance work andif your technique isnt spot on will cost you a few yards. Bigger 35 versions would be ok, as would something like a Shimano aerlex

Yes, I have looked at the shimano aerlex, seems ok, and then there are the diawa crosscast scw's previously mentioned, which are currently 25% off on total fishing tackle so i was thinking of buying them. Have also been recommended the mitchell avocasts so im a bit stuck at what to choose. I was leaning towards the daiwas as they seem very good for the money, and hopefully will be able to cast a fair bit which is what im looking for really

I use 20 year old biomasters, they wont beat basiairs for distance, but they get me far enough, probably 130 -150 yards. Can pick them up relatively cheap second hand, and will last forever

Just bought a shimano speedmaster xtc 14000 think they £110 new so a little more than you said I've had it of a mate in the wisdom to use it on marker rod but for the money you can't fault it smooth as silk slow oscillation and big spool these will chuck a lead a good way makes my 6000ts feel like old tanks lol but I' no which will last longer and which I can get repaired

Was just thinking of maybe setting my budget up to maybe £100 just to have the option of a few more different reels. I have also looked on angling direct and found that they have the Crosscast 45 SCW's for just £100, which seem like a really good deal for a big reel. Anyone used them or have any more recommendations within the price point?

Affinity 7000 ,7000ltd, 7000mk 2, don't be tempted by the 8000 size as they are huge ,too big for anything other than very long range boat work imo
