Hey Ruairi, My recommendation would be to open the links in the same browser window. As you say yourself, it leaves the user in control of their browser and they can always use the back button to get back to your site.
In testing we've done users are completely comfortable using the back button if they go to a page they didn't expect. While there was a mixed reaction to pop-up windows, in general, they were looked on negatively. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
