My two cents is to complete the masters. You've already said you're doing it as a back up, if most companies won't accept a BEng then whats the point of those 3yrs hard work and all that money spent if you can't apply for the best jobs. Shooting yourself in the foot IMHO. I know you want to get out there and start flying (me too!) but in terms of security, getting the MEng is entirely worth it. Furthermore, pilot job market isn't great, but is improving, entering a year later might not be such a bad idea. (I refuse outright to get into a debate about the job market though!
). Also, if you haven't already, why don't you join the UAS and do some flying with them? Well done with your first, keep up the good work, and best of luck.
