Thank you so much to anyone who can shed any light on this and if worth waiting.

The blurb from the actual link you posted on the 535Q:

"The Cry Baby Mini 535Q Wah provides the perfect balance of wah control and pedalboard-efficiency. Set the tonal character of your sound with the Range Selector, which allows you to choose one of the standard 535Q Wah’s four most popular sweep ranges. With the Q control, you can shape the wah’s response, from a narrow bandpass that emphasizes higher end harmonics to a wide bandpass that emphasizes lower end harmonics. If you want to a bump up to the front of the mix, just crank the Volume control and then kick the Boost switch to engage the level change. There’s a handy LED next to the Boost switch that lets you know when it’s active."

The normal Crybaby mini doesn't have these options

Was wondering if simplicity is the way forward or is the 535Q far superior and would be silly to get other one over it?

The standard wah has internal dip-switches so you can still tweak the tone slightly.

However, I have the CAE wah which has added switchable boost etc and I love it. It saves an extra tap-dancing move for me if I’m using the wah for a lead solo
