Is changing the sockets really worth it?

ic

As I've decorated my house I've installed either British General or LAP sockets in brushed steel or nickel (nickel looks better to me, and is installed downstairs!). I suspect they drop off the production line. MK is good, but really only for a sparky. Once installed the end user can't really tell the difference.

I’ve been replacing some in our new house with BG brushed steel ones, but only because I am having more sockets added and I want them to match on a room by room basis. So I’ve changed over one whole room and now have the old ones to use elsewhere. I wouldn’t bother to change them in a house I was planning to sell.

No Electrician would ever entertain using LAP.
