Looking at replacing/upgrading our shower head with the main caveat being it has to allow for relatively high flow rate as the gas hot water system switches off using the normal Flexispray hand shower. Using an older one at the moment which doesn't have this issue.
So fast forward lots of reading of different products, one of the fancy Methven hand showers would be nice but then I got the thought about more surface area (and no prob with flow rates because of that) like those overhead twin shower systems, but they are getting pricey, e.g.

Then I come across ones like this that look pretty much the same, which seem like a plastic clone of the above (note: I have no idea if the original is all metal either)

Our current hand shower holder thing is actually chrome finished plastic too, from Masters, so I am not outright knocking it.
But still wondering if anyone has used these sorts of cheap eBay shower or tap products able to comment on their quality or longevity?
Ultimately is it better sticking to the branded stuff when it comes to bathrooms?
We’ve currently got Methven and have used cheap in the past. I plan to stick with the Methven as it has aged so much better and has a lifetime warranty. We had an issue with the Methven after about 5yrs+ and got the shower head replaced under warranty and they were very pleasant to deal with.
The cheap one didn’t age very well and as soon as it had an issue we had to replace it.
