what do you think of the :

ZyCast SG-288

would it be worth the extra stretch of money (£70)?

Lots of people have got this one, including me, and its excellent. Various reviews place it equal or above SiRF in performance. This ebay seller is a Qstarz distributor and its where i bought it from.

sounds like a good item, but with it not having SiRF iii will that be a downfall?

BUT if its an item that many more advanced users on this board reccomend, then ill definetly consider it Laughing

Couple of reviews of the chip to reassure you!! Qstarz 810, iBlue737 same. Qstarz 818 has longer battery life.
