if i do get a cheap box with a electric speedo is it just a case of getting a mechanical drive unit off one of the older boxs

Or get a speedo driver. Quite widely used in the US hotrod scene.

Does anyone know for sure if the Focus RS MTX Torsen diff will take the speedo worm gear properly when mounted in an Escort mk5 MTX casing?

thought torsen, atb and quaife were all the same thing? the diff will fit all mtx casings, you will just need to change the crownwheel.

I know it has the magnetic speed pick up as standard. That was the very reason I asked if the diff will take the worm gear instead.
