the £1k gets turned into ~£700.

Nobody says no to an extra £700 if offered on a plate but the lower the % you get of a raise the less motivated you are to chase it.

£910 - you pay 9% over the threshold.

In my experience, student loan repayments are, until you are way above the threshold, a relatively minor number on your paycheques; dwarfed by income tax, national insurance, and pension contributions.
