That might hold as an argument if it were not for the fact that even at trade prices the Suprimas are not that good a choice.
Apart from the very low powered units if you take a middling 60 kBtu/hr (c. 18kW) unit with the flue and the VAT you are talking about the same money as a system boiler from Vaillant. The latter has the pump, filling loop and all the sealed system components included. (That alone would be pushing £100 + fitting labour).
Rule of thumb, AC current flow, 80mA/uF. Use large oiled paper/foil capacitors if you want trouble free operation.

As for marketing, what does everyone else feel about RS's new "vision" statement - "Do great things" ...
"I want to buy some capacitors, I promise I'll do great things with them, ... honest"
It was the cachet of having "Electronic" controls. It supposedly implied accuracy and up to datedness in an era when most easily affordable controls were electromechanical. The controls were designed to be as accurate as the most accurate electromechanical control and no more expensive than the average electromechanical equivalent. Unfortunately this meant quality/size compromises in the components selected and the standard of assembly.
Ooops, the UK has a history of invention but isn't very good at innovation. A quality culture like the Japs (and to some extent the Germans) have is needed to get it right, plus consumers ready to pay a bit more for something better.
cheers, Pete.
Sorry it's an expression from Ye Shedde. A cloff is what you use to clean whatever you've just sprayed over the screen/keyboard.
The English invent it.
The Germans develop it
The Japanese make it
The Americans buy it
And the French resent the English for having the idea in the first place!....
