MK all the way...Spurs are a dream..Grids are quick,terminal screws rarely chew off.Mcb's used to fit in Merlin kit and vice versa,not sure if they still do tho.And Screwfix knock it all out cheap.

Normally MK. Mind you had bad experience this week with Domestic CU(17th ed!!!!). Seems to be made from cheaper plastic than I remember. Probably in China.
