I ended up going back to the stock heat bed and haven't had sticking issues since. I just needed to find the quirks of my bed, and adjust bed level to suit.
If I do end up upgrading I'll go for borosilicate and swap out the heat bed also using a kit from fleabay.

Jamie from 3DPrinterGear up in the Sunshine State does the 200x200 and 220x220 sizes.. and he might be able to source a smaller sheet... but given the rarity of 150x150 printers, don't hold your breath on him having it ready to send...

Theres many many options on fleabay, including local-shippers... Just look for Borosilicate Glass :

Just remember, all glass is not alike... and the majority of people that champion just using framing glass end up with broken bits from thermal stress or head crashing... Borosillicate (or, as you may know it in the Kitchen, "Pyrex") is tempered and thus 'hardened' glass (except on the edges, where it will chip but not shatter) and is designed to be taken to high temps repetitively... consequently... whilst it might cost $15, you'll not need to replace it due to heat cycles or 'whoopsies'.

Just on the verge of ordering a SD3, and have been reading these forums to get an idea f the type of community support these printers have.

Seems like a pretty good place to be. Now to justify the purchase somehow!
