I emailed Merida over the weekend and they've responded back very quickly this morning....
Thank you for the enquiry.
The 2021 eOne-Sixty and eOne-Forty both come with the larger 630wh battery (E8036). The only exception to this is the eOne-Sixty in the Extra Small and eOne-Forty in a size Small. The geometry of this size frame means that it can only accommodate the E8035. This smaller aperture in the frame wouldn’t be able to house the new larger E8036 battery.
I'd (mistakenly) assumed that the 500's all came with the 504Wh battery and the 700's and above came with the 630Wh one!
Back to the drawing board on decisions between models then (in a good way as the battery capacity was my biggest concern).
