Looking to get something like the below, mainly for press-fit BB use, but no harm to have it for headsets too. Anyone know of a decent, cheap alternative? (have done the screwdrivers and the like, hence me wanting a proper tool for the job in future)

works with 1.5" as well, just splay it out a bit

That could work.... suspect it'd be a long job with my old hacksaw, mind.
Took me all of 15 mins with a hacksaw, just make sure it is not too wide first. I used a 27.2 mm.
Superstar Components do some cheap tools now, not bad quality either.
As I just posted elsewhere, I think you'll find the Park tool for removing headsets and BB92's are different sizes.
Copper tube. Cut and splay. Cheap as chips. Did exactly this for my last headset job. Worked a treat along with the homemade headset press (threaded bar, nuts, washers and two pieces of wood). Made me feel quite skill. The satisfaction of using home-made tools was even better than knowing I'd saved money. 8)
