I'm looking at this now also - although I will be laying on chipboard
underfloor.
I have chosent o go for QuickStep 800 (harvest Oak to be precise). If you
shop round on the net you get it for about £15m2 - it retails for about
£25
in places like allied carpets. There's reason why you cant use htis range
too - just make sure you lay a damp-proof membrane between the underlay
and
the concrete

It wasn't entirely clear whether these are solid wood surfaced (ie oak on
the oak ones) or photo finish from the web site, as they do a range of
definite wood ones as well (Baltic) at the same price (roughly as the
Kahrs). If they are wood surfaced, how thick is the top layer? I have some
15mm Kahrs next to me as I type, with a 6mm oak layer on top (3 plank). I
believe, as the OP suggested, as long as the underfloor is OK the thin
Kahrs stuff only suffers from not being able to sand down after 10 years or
so a couple of times.

We are currently also going through the same choosing process!
