I know IPS has better viewing angles and better colours than the VA but is it worth dropping down to VA to get the curved monitor will it make any difference to my gaming experience especially with it only being 27 inches or is it worth paying the extra £50 and getting the flat IPS monitor?

Or do you have one of these monitors or a curved monitor in general and can give your opinion would be helpful

That is not a given. It greatly depends on the individual monitors.

My current Asus VA pair are better than the previous HP IPS pair they replaced.
Both color and viewing angle.
