I almost feel guilty going with the (slight) majority but the V8 really did feel more special for me...
No surprise that my Focus isn't worth as much as I'd hoped so cost to change puts my total budget closer to $30k plus tax/registration. I've also learnt more about tax credit on trading in which seems to negate most of the benefit of selling my Focus privately so I'm probably going to hold out for a few months and look for a manual 1SS (ideally with NPP) towards the end of the year (hoping any discount offered on leftover 2017 models either puts them within reach or causes a knock-on drop in 2016 cars)
Thanks again all for the vocal opinions, guidance and support. Cheers...

That's cool! You should always buy what you want and what feels right. I was going to say make sure it's an RS at all costs, I didn't realize that's standard on the V8. The headlights are awesome.
