Cambridge. The Three postcode checker alleges I'll have a great signal at home and work.

I don't think upgrade offers have ever been great for the iPhone... Or even what you could call "offers".

No branding issues with the iPhone.

Most likely threatening to leave will get you a better deal out of your current network.
As for 3 - there's absolutely no advantage to their network these days (they lost most of that with the T-Mobile merger). Coverage you'll be better on EE, capacity you'll be better on EE, reliability you'll be better on EE, and not to mention the iPhone 5 will (supposedly) not work on 4G on any network other EE anytime soon and will only ever work if they turn off parts of their 2G or 3G networks.

No supposedly about it.
The iPhone 5 supports LTE bands 1, 3 and 5.
EE will be using band 3 (1800MHz). Three will eventually be able to use it, as it bought some of EE's spectrum, but not until September 2013.
The bands being auctioned by Ofcom for LTE are not 1, 3, or 5. No matter what O2 and the rest end up with, the iPhone 5's LTE won't support it.
If/when Ofcom ever allows band 1 (2.1GHz) to be re-farmed for LTE we'll probably be on the iPhone 7S... by then there'd hopefully be wider LTE support anyway!
