I had a large consider about which company to go down, but I do like Oculus' UI and Core 2.0 more rather than the generic SteamVR. Plus a used but good condition Rift is about £250-300 whereas a used Pro or Vive is around £400-600

I have 8GB Ram, GTX 1070 and Intel i7-7700K at 4.2GHz. You mention having the quest as it should be treated as a separate console to the rift, similar to having a Nintendo Switch and a PS4 or XBO. Is it worth treating them as 2 separate devices that could be worth getting both if purchases crossover, which is a genuine possibility for me as I never thought a picking up both?

The Quest is still 6 months away. I’ll probably buy one to upgrade my Oculus Go mobile VR. If you already have a good VR-ready pc the Rift will give you s lot better VR experience imho. What are your pc specs btw?
Oculus Rift CV1, Valve Index & PSVR2, Asus Strix OC RTX™ 3090, i9-10900K (5.3Ghz), 32GB 3200MHz, 16TB SSD

Yeah definitely looks cool. One more concern though, My VR space for my room is about 2.6m x 1m, whereas my living room is at least triple that. Bringing the PC up and down is a pain but is my room space enough?

Rift is a perfect match for your system, you won't find anything better. The VR games are truly unmatched on the Rift - this is what you get - only on the Rift:

Even those videos don't really capture the true awesomeness of the Rift - you simply can't do that in a 2D video. I wouldn't worry about the Quest for now - it's no match for the Rift. Get the Rift - and then you can start to consider upgrading to 16GB ram.

That is true but isn't it much cheaper to buy a game like Robo Recall separately with a 2nd hand, rather than adding £100 to the whole initial package? (btw including my arm space over furniture, the vr space in the room is about 2x3m)

i wouldnt buy any of em 2nd hand . vive wands have a tendancy to fail and cost a fortune to replace and the rift has its own possible issues too (eg the integrated headphones)also you wont get all the free games if you go 2nd hand, and you really want robo recall.edit.... 1m depth to your play space tho... that kind of sucks. will be ok for many games but not all.
