My ones thrown together. Harrison Torrix 6ft handle. Gardner net arms and top notch spreader block. Comes in around £140-£150 range. Love it to be honest with you.

I'm in the same boat as you actually. I have an old Prodigy landing net handle with a plastic Y which has seized solid and doesn't grip the net bars well, and another handle which is slowly disintegrating.
I was thinking about buying a decent handle, a top notch tackle spreader block and 50 inch nets (for carp and cats) but I'm stuck on which handle to go for since I need one with a removable block and I'm not sure what's available these days.

The Harrison I mentioned above has a removable block.

Never seen the top notch block
Its looks brillant ... Ive got a ESP extendable handle that I really like
Think this sorts my problems out

Just make sure you order the right size to fit your arms

If was in the market for a £150 net I would look no further than a Chris Brown net. Made and designed in the UK by a specialist.
I have a matrix bulldog mk2 net which is just above your price range but may be worth a look - light and stiff. I know some people struggle with the block but I haven't found it an issue.
Like post 2 I have also made a botch net - bulldog arms (£40), weston developments alloy block (£20), matrix 3k handle (£65) and a freespirit shallow mesh (£20). It comes in at 565 grams and is very easy to assemble and rigid.
This was the best combo I could come up with having tried various other components including a torrix pole, defiant pole, top notch block, a custom angling solutions block and matrix and gardner meshes.
If you like the solar P1 they have made an A1 blowlock for about £150 I believe, same block I believe but I pressume the rest of the net differs.

Solar bow lite is decent, had it since it came out and had no issues. think it comes in at under £100 as well. Isn't quick release but goes together easy enough

Chris brown nets are superb or as mentioned a cobbled together harrison combo.
Terry Hearn net is the one to get when they're back in stock.
Love Chris Brown stuff but I'm none too keen on his clunky heavy nets.
