I'm thinking of getting one too but it's still too expensive compared to the price of last year's Nexus 5.

Get a Moto G. You can get them unlocked for ~£150, or locked for ~£130 and then get an unlock code off eBay for £1.

Plus, the Moto G LTE has a 4.5" screen, has the same CPU and RAM as the 2014 version, and will get all the L goodness.

I have a G as a backup phone, and it is a great small phone. If I wasn't used to the performance of my X, I could definitely live with the G. Great screen, fast enough, takes an SD card, near-stock Android.
