Just planning the bathroom revamp and now have to choose a shower
mixer..

Background;
We have a Turbomax 828 (28Kw DHW/11 l/min) combi, which is supposed to
be fully modulating for hot water, and this is a flat with just two of
us, so additional hot water drawoff whilst showering won't be a problem.
I'm not quite so sure about mains pressure fluctuations though.

So.. I'm unsure whether to go for a pressure-balancing, but not
thermostatic, mixer like the Mira 415 or go for a normal thermostatic
mixer like a Mira Excel.
SHMBO wants concealed mounting in either case.

Any opinions on the type (or brand) to go for?
Does one method have any particular advantages over the other?

Or should I just go OTT and fit a thermostatic mixer along with a
separate pressure balancing valve?
