Default GCH or Electric Heating for Extension

Can I ask about heating for an extension to be built? I live in a modern
house with GCH. We're extending which I guess will increase the floor area
of the house by 25-30%. We've been chatting to someone who's done similar
about the heating. He has used modern storage heaters (Dimplex Duoheat) in
his extension. He feels these are fantastic but the main reason he did this
was that he was worried about extending his microbore central heating
system. He had heard that if you extend a microbore piped GCH system too
much, you can develop problems with balancing the system etc.
I like the look of these new storage heaters - but before I take the plunge,
any opinions on this as an option rather than extending the GCH system?
TIA, Paul
