So ... unfortunately I can't take the Ultimate S2 back.

Apologies misread first sentence, you don’t have to answer obviously, why?

Setaflex will be under £200, you can flog ultimate on ebay if you have to, you can easily recover half your costs of setaflex.
You may even find someone on here who would want it for the right money.

The cost of the failure would be astronomical in comparison.

WHY DO YOU HAVE WOODEN HANDLES ON PANS.
ANSWER BECAUSE WOOD IS AN INSULATOR.

take up all the wood and replace with 2 layers of backer board 90 degrees to each other both adhered to the screed floor and the other to the 1st layer of backerboard. this will allow better heat transference so reducing you soon to be sky high heating bills if you have wood as the layer above your ufh,and also reducing your 100% chance of failure due to the ply or wood.
 
The heating has been installed for 1 year already and works perfectly. Heating bills have went down, floors are warm to touch even with laminate flooring. I realise backer board would be better to tile on than ply hence why I am getting advice and hence the title of the thread.

Can someone respond to my previous comment on the correct adhesive from CTD?

I am now going to return the BAL grout for standard wide joint.

Thanks.
