Default Shower Valve

I currently have a Mira 415 Pressure Balancing (not thermostatic) shower
valve fed from a combi.

Planning a bathroom make-over. Would a pair of mixer taps with a diverter
control be suitable or is there an advantace in retaining a separate shower
valve?

It would do the job but from experience, you will experience
fluctuations in temperature if someone opens a hot or cold tap whilst
you're in the shower. If you install a separate thermostatic shower
valve, the temperature will remain relatively constant.
