The model variants are quite confusing. But I spent weeks researching these a while back, so I will explain the fruits of my hard labour for you.
In simple terms my advice would be the following
If you have solely hard floors: V6 Fluffy / V6 Total Clean (Fluffy tends to be cheaper, but TC is a better machine for carpets)
If you have a mix of hard floors/carpets: V6 Total Clean (don't even consider the Absolute; see note below)
If you have just carpet: V6 Animal / V6 Total Clean / V6 Absolute (note that the Animal has the lowest powered motorised tool for carpets, followed by total clean, followed by absolute)
The Absolute has the highest powered motorised tool for carpets, but it does not come with the new (soft roller) hard floor tool. It comes with an older (flat) version, that it not as effective. Also note: you cannot attach the new soft roller hard floor tool to the Absolute; it does not fit that model.
Obviously the above advice is not tuned to price; merely which is the best (in my view) for each flooring situation.
My recommended 'best of both worlds' or 'best all rounder' would be the Total Clean, which is £249 on Dyson's own website brand new, or £229 if you call up as an existing customer I understand; £202 refurbished is a very decent price.
This base model "V6" isn't really good value in my opinion

The products are manufactured overseas but the highly skilled engineering is done in the UK.
It's not the just the issue of jobs but rather quality jobs that are paid well, unlike with Uber and Deliveroo paying their "contractors" below minimum wage.
It's the reason why James Dyson in investing in engineering universities because that's where the UK are currently lacking. We don't need more low quality jobs that leave individuals stuck when a company seizes to exists or decide to move operations to another country. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/nov/04/james-dyson-addresses-engineering-skills-gap-with-university-launch
