The exhaust will give improve turbo spin up and maybe a bit more puff at high revs, but if you leave the stock cat then you'll have to put up with this sound every time you back off:

Correct.
if you tuned an NA petrol and put its results up against a TDCI tuned car then yes, the TDCI will have the bigger increase. But turbo diesel vs turbo petrol and the petrol will win. the deisel will never behave like a turbo petrol.
I do agree with what your saying turbodeisel and i can see your point. Adding an exhaust can free up some revs and power. The missus unfortunately doesnt like noise (and neither do i in a TDCI) so the exhaust was a no go. my opinion is that intercooler, intake and tune will net you a decent amount of power before having to touch the exhaust.
Big Damo, Have you considered Tuning Box's? alot of the UK guys for deisels use
www.racechip.de and
www.tmcmotorsport.com .
These appear reputable dealers in tuning box's for their cars. We have a racehip on the Fiat. Its good and does its job well. By no means is it a tune but it definately helps.
