Many reviews for the 21600-10 refer to condensation issues, which didn't arise with older models (eg 15082-10). Do all owners experience this problem?

Never read so much bloody nonsense as these reviews saying there is condensation in the kettle. it's a kettle - it heats up water which makes steam. as the glass cools the steam / water vapour condenses onto it. Deal with it, it wont go away - if you don't like looking at it then you shouldnt have bought a clear kettle!

Bought this kettle over a year ago and have been happy but now notice the bottom that heats the water has turned a rusty colour. Anyone else..?.

Yes, this is basically just a build-up of limescale from water with high levels of iron. It's not dangerous but does look scary. If you want to get rid of it, there's a home remedy of using baking soda or vinegar; however I recommend getting actual kettle descaler tablets. They work wonders and are easy to use.

“is this kettle better than breville vkt071 glass kettle?

Well unlike these other idiots who reply and say they don’t know, I have actually used both kettles. The Breville has better build quality and boils a bit quicker. The switch on the Russell Hobbs is very flimsy. The rest is aesthetics really, whatever pleases your eye.

Is it metal or plastic under the lid?

The entire top assembly is in black plastic, apart from a stainless steel trim around the outside
