I've done combi twice and found it struggled to cope with what amounts to 4 adults and a teenager. Anything else happens in the house (flush the loo, washing machine fills up) and the pressure drops enough, even worse if two of you are showering at the same time. Best case you get a low pressure shower each.
So this when we moved to a new house with a 20 year old system I went pressurised and have a megaflow pressurised system with a Worstester boiler heating that and the radiator. Also changed the showers to thermostatic controls. Its night and day for us, everyone gets a hot high pressure shower with very little pressure drop and it doesn't matter if somebody flushes the loo downstairs now. When one of the girls really goes silly with a long shower we can run out of hot water but it recovers quickly ready for the next person.
The downside is you don't have endless hot water but it recovers quickly, the up side is mains pressure hot water all through the house, we have good pressure at our place. It was about 1.5k more expensive than a straight combi version but so much the right decision for me.
Thanks for the info, if there is £1.5-2k difference then Id be happy going with the pressurised system over a combi. Just had visions of it being much more expensive!
