adds up. I would guess £600 more bottom line.

You need to shop around more. A few elbows and Ts aren't going to cost
that.
Nor is there any guarantee that more pipework is needed than the
combi.
Indeed, the cylinder is often more conveniently placed to break into
the
DHW
system than the boiler, so requires fewer additional runs.

In fact it's far more likely to be able to drop in in place of the
existing cylinder if one wanted to do that, or easily in the loft
position, simply because the boiler is typically in the kitchen, the
cylinder on the first floor and tank (space) in the loft.

Who wants a boiler in the kitchen? Why not have the dishwasher in the
bathroom as well.

It was an observation as to where they typically are.

Of course it's possible to move the boiler elsewhere, but this is
additional pipework and cost.

And more space and less noise.
