I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to where I can find some info on the various chess engines. I'm considering buying the Millennium Chess Genius Exclusive and see Millennium have chosen to use the ChessGenius engine instead of the King in The King Performance (clue in the name!). Does any know how these differ in terms of playing style?

Great :) Are some engines more 'human' in playing style or should I not worry about the engine at all?

Ask 100 people this question, you will get 100 different answers.
At your level engines are fine as long as you learn to use them properly. Use them to check your games for blunders and missed tactics. If you're using them just to play against? Set them at a level that is slightly above your level, and try and understand the "why" behind each move.

Thanks, much appreciated. The Chess Genius seems to have decent tuition/guidance functionality so I think I'll opt for that.
Then purchase the Millennium The King Exclusive. It has the Piece Recognition board and pieces along with their strongest engine to date.

They also have a ChessLink module that lets you Wirelessly connect the computer to a tablet or phone so you can play against or analyze with the strongest chess engines available in the market for your chosen device.
Actually it’s the gateway to the rest of the modern chess engines available in the market, making it future-proof compared to all the wooden dedicated chess computers that came before it.

The King version is a bit out of my price range, but I can stretch to the other version...
If you opt for the Exclusive first, you can always upgrade it with their modular CPU later on. The strongest Replacement CPU that is offered today is the King Element.

It does not have the new Chess960 variant, but I wouldn’t be surprised if their next version of The King Element will have it along with other updates.

Thanks, so if I start with the Exclusive Chess Genius: https://computerchess.com/en/chessgenius-exclusive-2/ - then that gives me a decent start and the "upgrade" potential?
Yes
