That's a no brainer Cevenol go for the Saragos.
We got the Lider Alicante in 2009 back then was £800 with ABS Lid, RoofRack, Jokey Wheel and Spare Wheel c/w Side Mount.
The Alicante is 750kg same as the Saragos.
Lider went a bit mad in 2012 and made the internal size of the Seville, Alicante and Saragos all slightly smaller.
They also decided to drop the Alicante from the UK range but is still available in France.
They simply made the sides shorter and not as tall as the older models.
They also made the ABS lid a lot more shallow, and dispensed with the optional 100kg roof rack. although you can get Cross Bars.
And to top it all for good or bad they replaced the Steel Floor with a treated wooden floor.
On the upside though they did introduce as an optional extra Side Extentions, and that for me makes up for all the negative changes, I guess they were just trying to keep the base prices down.
To me 750kg is the go to spec for a none braked trailer, not to mention it the max the law permits, unlucky for the French as they are limited to just 500kg!
At the last weigh in our fully loaded trailer came to 540kg, empty it sits at 215kg so the kit that time was 325kg.
I do have to keep an eye on the weights, as the current car VW Golf Mk7 TDi is rated to just 660kg for a none braked trailer.

Yep Cevenol good choice going for the Saragos, even though it is only slightly larger than the Saville, it's the 750kg over 600kg that IMHO is worth the extra paying for.
Had the Alicante not been 750kg, I also would have probably gone for the Saragos back in 2009.
As you may see in my gallery image, I soon added a 520lt RoofBox and 150lt Trailer Tongue Box.
That Almax chain looks good, we use a 2m length of galvanised 19mm chain with a CISCA Box padlock.
Handy for padlocking to the towbar when parked up, and to be fair is more of a visual deterrent, than anything else.
I also use a couple of those 110db Alarm padlocks, one through the hasp on the locking ABS lid, and the other just gets added to the chain.
You can only do what you can do, so far as security, and I have another little suprise inside the lid should some scrote get as far as opening it.
In fact comming back from France July 2015, the nice young lady security officer at Dunkerque ferry port, asked me to unlock the Trailer ABS lid so that they could have a look inside, thankfully, she was unable to raise the lid, due to the weight of stuff in the RoofBox.
and gave up, still my little suprise was disarmed at the time, but it may have lead me to a conversation that I would rather not have with an official!

Topic: Lider Trailers

for Red Cap, they sorted my Seville out last year, very good to deal with, family firm and if still the same, the dad did the handover and talked me through everything on the trailer.
