DaveB is right. Act keen, but reluctant at that rate. I reckon they will see you to £400/day.Comment

How about £300/day for every day worked at home, £500/day if you work onsite. Help focus their minds ands wallets if they insist you work in their office.Comment

There has never been a relationship between how difficult a contract is and the renumeration, quite the inverse in fact.
