Thanks for the feedback, the headset issue is not a dealbreaker but understand it can be annoying.
TBH, I'll mainly be using the speakerphone but occasionally headset is preferable if I need to walk around the house or client call quality is not great. Good to have that flexibility.
And thanks for mentioning the lighting as I struggle at some times of the day. I'll research this area too so any recommendations would be great."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Stupid question and I've probably answered it myself but I get a reflection from my laptop camera in my glasses so constantly have to move my head to make sure you can't see the screen in them. I assume having an external camera will have a different angle so won't see the reflection of the screen? I don't think it's such a deal I have to invest in a camera specificly to remove this but it's something I'm concious of on calls.

I used a gaming headset for conferences- my Logitech (35 works a treat and the microphone's sound quality is pretty good.
