As it's pretty expensive for an oil cooler, is there anything else out there worth looking into? Or can I put a better core on the existing setup? Does the 1M have a different setup?
FWIW I will be leaving the power output mostly stock, will do dump pipes, IC and MHD tune at a later stage.

Cheers

Most are looking for a stock replacement upgrade. That is something that uses factory lines/connectors/brackets.
For you, so long as class allows, you can use any cooler you see fit and just make lines to fit.
Some of the problem with the stock unit is in the oil thermostat being on the high side for sustained racing. Something in the 180-190*F range would be better and offer a bit more buffer. Unfortunately there isn't something like that as a stock replacement.

Being you're in the south you might want to try and find a used by the name of AUbeast86. He'd have good insight and maybe a few parts to offer.
