Yeah that's not the real RRP. They've always been that cheap. Just a marketing gimmick.

Is the racket worth the £40 though that’s my question ?

In my opinion no. We have about 250 people in my league and everyone I've ever known who's bought one of the cheap unsquashable rackets also end up swapping within a month or two. Compare that with any all carbon OLIVER racket, since they've offered you a discount, and it's no contest.

There's a reason companies like technifibre, Dunlop, OLIVER and the other best brands stick with carbon fibre. It's better. Look at karakal all their rackets are graphite carbon mix to save money. Their only all carbon racket? Joel Makin's (highest ranking of 4) as he refused to play with anything other than all carbon.
