Obviously theres a 60% ish price difference here, but I'm hoping to keep some riding in over the winter and would prefer to keep my feet warm and dry for as long as possible. Can anybody give me some glowing reviews of products they've tried and tested and would recommend? Obviously the overshoes going to be preferable but i'll stretch should a winter shoe be spot on !

I commute all winter, so I'm all about ease of use.

The Winter boots I use were about £100 (Shimano MW80) and they're 'fit and forget'.

No they don't keep all the water out (it runs down my leg and in the top), but they do keep my feet warm.

This is my second pair of Shimano winter boots, and the first pair lasted over 10 years. There was actually not much wrong with them when I binned them, I just fancied a new pair. This pair I've had about four or five years I'd say.
They sound good value for money, do they have mtb only style cleat bolts?!
