I don't recall having those CUs open (at least not the plastic
version), how much height is there available inside?



Bugger all.

Now if the OP was considering a DIY CU swap then why not do it
now?

Metal clad dual RCD (or RCBOs if funds allow).

A new kitchen is looking like 8k (units, couple of appliances,
plastering, lighting and flooring). Spending a couple of hundred
upgrading the CU to be future proof for another 20 years would seem
like a sensible investment.

Any recommendations for which CU to choose? Also, you can't do a job
like this without buying some new kit. Would there be one thing that
would make the CU swap easier for a mostly competent DIYer?


What kind of test gear have you got?
