I will reserve judgement on the Pixel until I have a hands on look at it on the 20th.”

I don't think anyone is suggesting the phones won't be good. They do have very good specs but so do other phones either now or in the near future.
It's a shed load of money to pay for a very good phone with iPhone style pricing. Much of that money is pure profit, nothing more.
At the moment, perhaps the most exciting phone is the LG V20 but it isn't coming to the UK. However, depending on the bands supported and the acceptance that you probably won't get VoLTE support anytime soon, it may still work out cheaper to import one than buy the Pixel XL.
