About LinkBacksI am looking for a decent Cisco alternative to the Draytek 2820 to load balance 2 DSL connections, does anyone here have any experience with any Cisco products that can actually do this?

While I dont have the experience, looking at some ISP's who provide dual ADSL connections, they sell either the Cisco 1841 or Cisco 2811 depending on what you want to achieve
Might be worth looking into the 1841, but they are £500-£600 plus the ADSL cards for it

the 1841 does look like a good route to go, I should really have know that as I have setup a few 1800s before but that was for leased lines.

Depends on what you're looking for. A 1721 is cheap as chips and will take SDM and IOS 12.4, it will also be able to do GLBP or HSRP but it's end of life and it's not really designed to take a lot of traffic. You can also upgrade to MLPPP if you wanted but your ISP would need to support that.
If your ISP supports PPPoE (BT do, not all the LLU providers do) then buy a Mikrotik Routerboard RB750G for ~£40 and save yourself a lot of money. It'll happily do what you want plus a hell of a lot more (MPLS on a £40 device...). If you can only use PPPoA then I'm afraid it's not much use to you
