Anyone know how the quality might compare to the Volex one:

Thanks for any advice

I went for the Wylex one as the quality of the other was not rated good on
the SF forum.
Also my old metal clad fusebox was Wylex and it had the incoming switch on
the RHS same as the their new one. Whereas the Volex main switch is on the
LHS.
So I figured it would be easier to reconnect the existing meter tails to the
Wylex, which indeed it was.
It was doodle to fit I only had the power off for 1 hour.

The SF price is very good. The nearest B&Q have is a special offer 8 way kit
for 80 quid.
