FWIW - 4 bed house, 2 bathrooms + ensuite, just had a Alpha CD50 fitted,
bath filling is on a par with the old cylinder system, its wall mounting

You must have had a very poor 'cylinder system'. A correctly designed one
should have given twice the flow at double the temperature of an Alpha
CD50 thus filling a bath to the wanted temperature in a quarter of the
time.

Yes it was poor - old thorn boiler and cylinder in the old outside
loo/coalhouse.
I agree that any combi is not going to me a match for a modern storage
system but for a household that mainly showers the alpha is a superb one box
solution (the mira shower is superb vs the old 9.5Kw 'leccy one)
