Electric Shower vs Pumped Mixer

    Renovating bathroom and have the wiring & water feed from cold water tank in the attic available for electric shower. The cable is 10sqmm so was planning on a Triton T90SR.

    Thing is the water pressure from the mains to our new combi boiler is pretty poor, so plumber is going to stick a pump from the tank to the boiler to supply decent pressure hot water to the kitchen and bathroom sinks. This will also feed the bathtub hot water.

    Should I go with the Triton or just stick the shower head from the tap mixer (which I have) since it'll be pumped? My thoughts are that I could cover up the opening for the cable & plumbing for the shower behind a tile and try out the pumped hot water. If the pumped hot water isn't good enough I can easily take out the tile and install the Triton.

    Anyone think this is bonkers?

    Should also mention, the tank in the attic is huge for the purposes of a pump and the house is only a small 2 bed with 2 adults + baby so won't have anyone competing for hot water while shower is on.
