I'm astonished by the price range of thermostatic shower mixers; £70 up
to many many hundreds. Surely a mixer is just a metal casting, a wax
capsule and a tap; what do you get if you pay more?

I've noticed they seem to be about 1/4 of the price in France
for what appear to be the same models, although I haven't
extensively researched this -- just happened to notice this
in a French store shortly after buying one in the UK.
