You have to be pragmatic. If I had lots of call for these I would too hang onto them.

But you have to be realistic as well. If this was say an 8 way board and / or looked like it was going to be a PITA to swap the CU then I might be prepared to pay more. But this is a small board I could swap in a couple of hours.

In this case I am now swapping the main switch for an RCD. To those that say "that does not comply" This is a big country house with a 3 phase incomer and loads of small CU's distributed around the property, so swapping the main switch on one for an RCD is no different to a split load board in a normal house, if it trips a few circuits will go off, plenty of others will not be affected.
