Help recommend a Woodburning insert stove

misc2013

We have started stove shopping. We've heard the speil about higher end Heta range v "cheaper" Henley etc. Neither of which seem cheap in my book but anyway. So, apparently Henley / cheaper tend to require regular replacement parts vs the higher end_ in this case 400/500in the dif. But, we are not planning to use it everyday as we have OFCH, prob more at the weekends unless particularly cold. It's more for the weekend where it might light all day then in the winter. So, I'm wondering, as a potentially light user, would a Henley be sufficient rather than if relying on it all winter? We only need a 5kW dry lit. No back boiler. Thanks.

We have a Stanley Cara insert stove fitted for about 3 years now in our fireplace. Looks very neat and great heat output of about 6.5kw I think. No problems apart from a glass replacement Euro 50 or so.

Hamco installed lately. Huge difference in the house. Have an esse in another room for 10 years. Great job also.

Can any of those recommended be installed high up in chimney breast? We'd love that if possible.
