It does, a lot, thanks so much for the detailed reply! I've had another look myself after reading this and can see a few things the Thunderforest maps are lacking now that OpenTopo has detail for.
I see your point about the OS Opendata contour lines too.. Have you found a way to layer them with the OpenTopo map without it looking messy with two set of contour lines? I've played around a lot and still am not fully satisfied.. By adjusting the tint, contrast and layer mode etc you can make it better at least though.
I have tried and tried and then tried a bit more with that messy contour line problem but I haven't been able to solve it unfortunately.
Something I have done recently was to use software to create a GPX track along a path shown on an Openstreetmap based map.
I then loaded that into BCN pro over the top of the OS maps.
So then you've got an OS map with an accurate representation of an Openstreetmap path on it.
It's a bit long-winded but it's an option.
I generally find that the Openstreetmap maps on Alpinequest give me a good enough idea of the contours so that's why they remain my go-to.
The "DEM slopes (+30°) layer "is especially useful and surprisingly accurate.
