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)


Well, yes, one would hope.

The point is that one's perspective depends on the place from which
one starts.
