Vinyl Floor Tiles. J2 Flooring??

Morning all,
Hope you're all enjoying this weather. I'm not, way too hot for me. Anyhoo...
Currently putting in a new kitchen, and have been looking at flooring options. We really like the Luxury Vinyl Tile's, Karndean et al. Very pricey, but look great. We have been getting quotes for around £2 - 2.5k fitted for the Karndean, Moduleo etc. brand names. However, we came across a company that uses J2 Flooring products, and they came in at £1.2k fitted. Obviously a massive difference for essentially the same product. Style-wise, very similar, and according to their website, they seem very similar products to the more expensive makes i.e. 0.5mm wear layer, sound deadening underlay etc.
Has anyone any experience of the J2 Flooring vinyl tiles? Any good? Just as durable?
One last question, is it a bad idea to 'dryfit' the kitchen, get everything lined up, and then remove to fit the flooring? I ask, as there is an approx. 2 month wait for the flooring to be fitted, but I currently have no kitchen. Having a few cabinets in place, and a working oven, would be lovely right now. I would wait, but the better half is already stressing that we'll have to wait 8 weeks for home cooked meal.
Thanking everyone in advance

IMO, it's MUCH better than common laying flooring around the cabinets, especially if you DIY and if we are talking about just a few units. Don't do heavy and expensive worktops in your temporary kitchen though.warwick2001 said:...is it a bad idea to 'dryfit' the kitchen, get everything lined up, and then remove to fit the flooring?
