Getting another analogue meter is looking unlikely now, as no one seems to fit them anymore.

So I'm now thinking I may as well do it sooner rather than later, i.e. in the summer.
That would mean I could look at moving to Octopus before next winter if I so desire.

Having an old E7 meter also hampers any move as some, like Octupus, always quote me E7 prices.

I would advise moving to Octopus before getting smart meters installed, because not all smart meters work with octopus properly which would mean you couldn't take advantage of their smart tariffs.
