Default Recomend me a 5a + balance charger.

Looking for either a charger I can buy 2 of or a multi charger ( 2 or 4 chargers built into one unit ).

Needs to be sub £100 ( £50 each if its a single charger )

I already have a decent 20a 12v psu so no mains option required.

needs to balance lipos accurately

I would like a memory with setable programs like my now defunct robitronic overloader ( terible name for a charger ) as I charge more than just rc batteries.

I have been browsing the hobbyking website and have bought cheap lipos from them before however some of the customer reviews especially regarding the returns policy for doa chargers have been less than good.

looks kind of what I'm after but I have no idea how good trunigy chargers are.

I use the Turnigy Accucell 6a charger and can't fault it - plus you can get 2 for half of your budget

Default Charger

I have just bought one of the new SKYRC Chargers, the RS16. It's a bit more than your £50 budget for one charger but is VERY accurate.

I have checked the output voltages while charging a 2 cell Li-Po pack vs the 'claimed' voltage on the screen against a calibrated multi-meter.

The voltage on the screen said 8.40 volts when fully charged but, here is the good bit. The individual cell Voltage was actually 4.18 Volts on the multi-meter which is a 100% charge for a Li-Po and you can play around with the end voltages if you want in the memory settings.

Hope you find this helpful.

Oh BTW before this charger I was using a Turnigy Accucel 6 and it works ok but don't expect the end voltages to be accurate!
