I'd go option 2 in that scenario. in fact,
I'd go pushfit and plastic everywhere
that couldn't be seen

A very foolish thing to do.

foolish ?

Yes, foolish my good man.

whilst not wanting to feed a troll (rather, wanting to draw out an
argumentative
person with acces to a PC and the 'net) could you please, for the benefit of
anyone accesing the archive in the future, give the group the benefit of your
wisdom and explain, exactly, why it's better for a self admitted plumbing
newbie
to struggle with copper end feed joints, in an inaccesible place, when the
perfectly
servicable (and designed for the purpose) pushfit and polypipe solution exists ?

Quite.

I think it's probably some kind of DIY rite of passage. Naked flames
and flux - that sort of thing. A chap near me has actually been round
his house lifting floorboards and climbing in and out of his loft
replacing all the push-fit joints the previous owner had used. This,
despite the fact that none of them had caused the slightest problem -
or was likely to.

He's good with barbecues too...
