Not Telling
This is only my personal opinion but I would go for small & small (service & garage).
18,000 miles for a 4 year old car is low mileage so why have a major service. Small garage good as long as you know and trust it. No point in paying for all the overheads at a main dealer (have you seen how many people are wandering in and out of doors at those garages).
I have a 2010 1.6 Titanium model and do not experience the hesitation you describe on gentle acceleration. Could it be simply a small clearance (backlash) in the accel pedal attachment to the transducer which does not show when you strongly accelerate. Is there a spring somewhere in the mechanism which has gone weak and would normally eliminate backlash. Do not believe the electronic showed have any noticeable delay.
Just my personal thoughts.
