Octopus Plug-in Solar Bundle
Octopus's own single-panel bundle: a 460W panel, a microinverter and a 5m cable with a 3-pin plug, sold with a choice of wall or ground mount depending on where it goes. Octopus's plug-in-solar pages don't state a warranty period for the bundle anywhere: the explore page, FAQ, blog post and order page all have zero mentions of one.

PatioSun's flagship: the same dual-MPPT HiFlow PRO microinverter as the Max, but with larger 465W panels for 930W of capacity, the most panel capacity in the range. Whether the roughly £30 premium over the Max is worth it comes down to those extra 40W of panels.
