My solar Panel quotes

for the last few weeks I have been getting different quotes from different firms and I am now totally swamped with options. My roof is south facing no shade, 30degree angle. I have been able to narrow it down to 2 firms giving a equally good system. both system have the same invertor so is not a big issue in the decision.
first one: Tesco suggested 18 x Sharp NU185 giving 3.33kWp, 2736 output giving a total payback (with electric saving) of £1405 for £10,749. I estimate this will pay back in 7.7 years. 7.2 if you take the tesco points into account and use them wisely.
Second quote: from Evoenergy 12 x Suntech 250w. giving 3.00kWp, 2441 output and a total payback of 1254, for £10,941. This should payback in 8.6 years.
On paper tesco seem slightly cheaper and have offered a slightly higher output system. however Evoenergy have come over very professional.
to help me decide has anyone used either of these panels or had experience with the instalation companies.
