Valtra N174 Direct. Comparing the NH & Fendt isn't really fair as you only have the NH if you don't want to spend as much on finance each month. I went for the Valtra rather than the 516 for several reasons. The Valtra has a better engine, much nicer laid out back end, better tyre options, a nicer cab and I think it looks much better as well. I never got a quote for the Fendt but I doubt there is much in it as over a quarter of the Valtras price was optional extras. If you are buying a tractor new then a few hundred pounds more per month is nothing in the big scheme of things, spend your money make your choice.

I demoed a T6 180 and it was a good tractor but the N4 is a lot nicer place to spend a day

I have not driven a modern Valtra but I have sat in a new one, all the bells and whistles recently. Struck me as being very very nice place to spend the day and virtually no effort to drive. Also, Valtra have the more desirable SiSu engine.
 
I can't see the difference it that vast. I had several customers who ran Fendts and they always reckoned the difference between them and fully specced other brands was never that vast.
