Shower tray recs?

[Super_Paulie]

Any shower tray recs? I've sourced these 2 and my shower is going to be a Mira so would it beneficial to combine it with the Mira tray or is it all much the same? 

 

For what it's worth, a top left drain would be useful to me and save a 45° bend in my run which can only be a good thing but is the Mira worth the hassle and 100 more notes. I liked the Mira with the central hidden drain as well but I would prefer to add my own McAlpine and that one was some custom specific job.

I've fitted the ones with the 'hidden' drain, and I'd say that is way nicer vs a mushroom you step on.

I was going to get the McAlpine 53mm low profile job with the actual metal grill. Think I trust that more than the "bundled with" specialist jobbie of the central hidden Mira (attached). Also means id have to raise the tray. Pros and cons I guess.

"Trust" ? Water goes down the hole, gravity is your friend  

 

I'd be drilling the joists vs top-notching anyways, so the pipe can be lower.

I don't have the joist depth to drill I'm afraid so it's notching, which I am within limits of, or raising.

 

So is essentially what tray is "less shit" than the others with a standard drain.

Then defo the flat metal grille.
