Which shower mixer

Nosmo_King_2

Need to buy a new shower mixer (the old one is working but is about 10 years old and having new shower area fitted so might as well get a new shower - according to swmbo) Am looking at the exposed valve type to run off the combi but depends on the price. I have found a Hansgrohe Focus E single lever mixer that would be around £70 and also a Mira Coda for around £85 although prefer the lever type, Are Hansgrohe any good - they only seem to be available from internet suppliers so can't see them in the "flesh" Or are there any others I should consider around these prices?
Cheers
Also noticed a Crosswater EV1209EC for similar price and with 15 year warranty. ?

redid bathroom just over a year ago and got a Hansgrohe from b@q on a good offer run it of combi love it, see my old post on here, replaced a good electric shower saved alot on electric since. 1 thing they have a small mesh filter on each end of shower hose make sure you remove the plastic wrapping of them or you wont get much water flow.. lol you learn something new each and every day. also got it over the bath with half lenth shower screen still using shower curtain due to POWER of water.
