I can get one in good condition for 300€, are these good compared to lets say the 38 / Otari 5050?

It's one short coming is that it's sync response is not equal to its repro heads frequency response so, while over dubbing, your taped tracks will sound pretty muddy but upon normal playback, they will pop back to full response.
The newer decks like the 38, 48, 58 and TSR-8 don't have this design issue and as well being newer machines may offer you fewer service issues and better parts availability.
300 pounds seems a bit on the high side, price wise for one to me but, I am not familiar with the British market place for used gear so this may be a decent deal for that region of the planet?
Cheers!

Soundcraft did and still do make some nice clean boards. The M12 looks like a decent board.
TASCAM as well, made some very decent desks back in the 80's so, a 300 or 500 series TASCAM would also serve you well. That's what I use myself; a couple of M312B from TASCAM.
Cheers!

There's another 80-8 up for sale too, which comes with DBX and 3 tapes. I might be able to get that for 225. Nice!
