Abacus WC push buttons, geberits, megabads

[Auchlossen]

I have been horrified by the price of Geberit push button controls, to say nothing of the details which fit around and about the tiling, as discussed on another thread here. Looking around I discovered:

Abacus Direct Easi-Plan Press Panels Mode - Satin Chrome

which cost £19.46 inc VAT from PlumbNation, which seemed to fit my budget more neatly.

Does anyone have any views on their quality?

 

Incidentally I know people on here get very excited about Megabad and that ilk, but I found that my plumber's favourite merchant in Glasgow could be persuaded to match their prices even on German products like Geberit, and they were actually cheaper on some products. And where they were not, I have gone to PlumbingforLess or PlumbNation. I also decided that I would pitch at mid-range products like Roca/Bristan rather than Hans/Grohe.

 

happy xmas, happy building, may the sun shine on your endeavours in 2017

I think with the exchange rate being what it is now, the Megabad advantage is somewhat diminished so if you can get all you need through a local dealer then that's great.

Being a Glasgow boy, whose his favourite?
