I'm keeping my options open and will decide on the day based on what is possible:

Its useful to know that installing a used KOMBI is not very straight forward. It requires virginsing (clearing the mileage and VIN) of the instrument cluster which "apparently" requires specialist equipment EEPROM writer (besides the standard coding tools). In case it is not possible / feasible to install the upgraded cluster I might choose option #3 below:

1. Preferred option: Standard Cruise Control (540) with upgraded KOMBI

2. Factory option: Cruise control with braking (544) with upgraded KOMBI

3. Worst case option: Standard Cruise Control (540) with base KOMBI

I will update this thread once its all carried out. Hopefully it all goes well *fingers crossed*
